Summaries

When ALEX's estranged mother sends them a box of seven cassette tapes from an unknown address, they arrive in Palm Springs, bags stuffed with wigs for their drag persona GINA CAKESTAND. Pressing play, their mother's voice speaks to them for the first time in 17 years. They travel through the alien and familiar place where they were born, encountering a self-involved healer, a salty ex-girlfriend, a strange hiker, and a 50 ft. Marilyn Monroe. Back onstage in NYC, Gina narrates the journey...howling to the stars for mother, for self, and for home.
