TRUE WEST is a character study that examines the relationship between Austin, a screenwriter, and his older brother Lee. It is set in the kitchen of their mother's home 40 miles east of Los Angeles. Austin is house-sitting while their mother is in Alaska, and there he is confronted by his brother, who proceeds to bully his way into staying at the house and using Austin's car. In addition, the screenplay which Austin is pitching to his connection in Hollywood somehow gets taken over by the pushy con-man tactics of Lee, and the brothers find themselves forced to cooperate in the creation of a story that will make or break both their lives. In the process, the conflict between the brothers creates a heated situation in which their roles as successful family man and nomadic drifter are somehow reversed, and each man finds himself admitting that he had somehow always wished he were in the other's shoes.

Transgender Day of Remembrance
November 20, 2023

Gwendolyn Ann Smith
June 22, 1967 - present

Rita Hester
November 30, 1963 – November 28, 1998

Transgender Day of Remembrance was started by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a transgender activist, in 1999 as a way to honor the life of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. Smith held a vigil, which honored the life of Hester as well as all other transgender people who had lost their lives since her death.

“Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.” - Gwendolyn Ann Smith

Platt House wants to honor the work of campus organizations such as the LGBT Center, and their devotion to honoring such an important day.

Join the campus community in honoring Transgender Day of Remembrance on Monday November 20, from 4:00 to 5:30 PM in the ARCH Lobby (3601 Locust Walk).
