So far as I know, Armenian performance art in Los Angeles has not
confronted issues of gender and sexual identity ever since Nancy Agabian
left these parts for the East Coast over a decade ago. Perhaps that’s
what makes “Dear Armen” – a still-developing, yet daring multi-genre
study of a transgender Armenian that’s currently touring L.A. and San
Francisco – such a fresh and intriguing work of theater.
