The Free State by Madi White

In this tender and funny one‑woman show, laughter becomes a lifeline as a young woman named Free unpacks what it means to grow up, let go, and keep going in her own way.

When Free finds a box from her past, and the objects inside conjure the moments that shaped her: the loves she lost, the beliefs she outgrew, and the pieces of herself she fought to protect. With raw truth and sharp humor, she tells her story of growing up queer in conservative Kansas—rediscovering memories that challenge, comfort, and push her toward who she’s becoming.
