John-Payne (they, them)

Lead Producer

John-Payne is a Chicago theatre-artist/performer/director, and is beyond gratuitous to be working with Gender Fucked again! It is not often TGNC theatre-artists find spaces dedicated to them by them, so for John-Payne, the Producer Mentorship Program is such an exciting opportunity. You can find them working as an Event Coordinator for The Understudy Coffee & Books, or working on a project they have put their whole heart into. They are dedicated to making lasting change for queer/BIPOC theatre folk, and challenging the structures which prohibit that change. They know and understand their responsibility in being a conscious and active member of their community through the art they create. It’s the love and support from their family, chosen and not, that gets them through the day and inspires them to continue that creation.
