Founded in 2002, Boys R Us is Tucson's Premier gender performance troupe. We are a collective of gender queers coming together to create a rollercoaster ride of emotion, imagery, ideas and entertainment. Exploring varying perspectives of gender bending, including identity, exploring the ying and yang of gender and societal roles, image, self-esteem, self-projection and identification, Boys R Us pushes the envelope of gender transformation to confront underlying social issues. This validates the struggle and provides common ground to communicate ideas of breaking through societies dichotomous roles and questioning preconceived notions surrounding gender. Expanding peoples minds about what gender is, is not, and what it could be; masculine, feminine and everything in between, Boys R Us is gender bending at its finest.
