 About Becoming Norman Minimize

Directed by:
Debra De Liso

Written and performed by:
Norman P. Dixon

Both funny and poignant, “Becoming Norman” is an inspirational sojourn with music about a gay man who grew up in a conservative Mormon home in Utah and always wanted to be a performer. We follow his struggle to accept himself even as he yearns for the love and approval of those around him. Looking back on his life and the stories that made him who he is, he finds the courage to stop hiding behind his fears and to finally let his voice be heard.
