Austin’s Home
by Jesse Alana Robkin
PlayLab and Response Panel
Austin, a 21-year-old trans boy, is coming home for Christmas for the first time
since a family tragedy pushed him from the house he grew up in. But before
reconciliation with his estranged parents can begin, he first must tell them that
he’s transgender. As Austin’s parents grapple with the discovery of their child’s
identity, the entire family must learn to confront the trauma they’ve spent the
past three years denying. Austin’s Home is a poignant yet hopeful exploration of
loss, absolution, and what you can do after life happens to you.
