Carla Gugino as Alex in Daniel Pearle’s A Kid Like Jake

“As soon as I read the play out loud, I just fell in love with it. So much of the play has to do with things that are very relatable. There's no rulebook on how you're supposed to be a parent; it's one of the toughest jobs. But it's also interesting in terms of the idea of people being labeled-how we fit into society and how we figure that out along the way. I was so taken with this woman's journey, and I thought it would be such an interesting world and person to explore.”

And it’s kind of a tradition, you know, Bethany asks the birthday boy or girl what their birthday wish is, during circle time, and then the whole classes wishes for it to come true, all together. And Jake was wearing his birthday crown and sitting in the birthday chair and Bethany asked him what his birthday wish was and instead of telling everyone he whispered it in her ear. And she looked a little unsure so I asked her what it was. And she told me his wish was to be a girl.
