Full-Length Play // Trans-inclusive, Youth Casting

Iris Reed is forced to bridge the gap between her transgender identity and her romantic aspirations as she struggles to come out to the man she’s seeing. She fights an internal struggle, dreaming of all the possibilities, good and bad. With the help of her deceased father, an imaginary friend, and her younger self, she attempts to find peace in her place in the world.

In April 2023, Daphne Gussler directed a staged reading of “Eyespots on a Butterfly” at Transylvania University. Linked above is a recording of the reading, including a talkback with the cast and Gussler herself.
