Torrey Pines is a live theatrical production with stop-motion animation projections accompanied by live music and foley. This transgender queer punk coming-of-age tale takes place in Southern California in the early 1990’s and is based on a true story by director Clyde Petersen. Raised by a schizophrenic single mother, Petersen’s life story unfolds in a series of baffling and hallucinated events. With a mother fueled by hallucinations of political conspiracy and family dysfunction, Petersen is kidnapped at the age of 12 and taken on a cross-country adventure that will forever alter the family as they know it.
