When high-schooler Alex convinces his best friend Ethan they should pretend to be trans to hook up with girls, Ethan makes a startling discovery: She isn’t pretending. Blending farce with genuine emotion, this subversive comedy takes rightwing locker-room panic to its funniest and most poignant conclusion. With a fresh spin on the coming-out narrative, debut director Siobhan McCarthy pays homage to iconic high school comedies like SHE’S THE MAN and BRING IT ON while adding a distinctly queer twist. Led by Misha Osherovich and Nico Carney, an ensemble of trans actors deliver both irreverence and heart–cementing this as a new teen comedy classic.

“On paper, SHE’S THE HE sounds like it could go totally off the rails — but Siobhan McCarthy and the hilarious ensemble pull it off with skill and wild charm. Bold, irreverent, and unexpectedly sweet, it’s the queer teen comedy we didn’t know we needed until now.” – David Hatkoff, Executive Director
