Spokane trans actress Maeve Griffith tackles 30 roles in Stage Left's latest one-person show, I Am My Own Wife

eturning to the stage after decades away takes guts — especially if your debut is not just one but 30 parts in a one-woman show.
Fortunately, Spokane actress Maeve Griffith shares courage and an uncommon connection with one of the 30 characters she portrays in Stage Left Theater's new production,
I Am My Own Wife.
"The courage of Charlotte is really compelling, which underscores as a trans woman how desperate you are," Griffith says. "You want to show who you are, but most of us hide it to fit in. But Charlotte didn't.
"The courage of her was really amazing, and she didn't really define herself as a transgender person, but rather someone who knew a lot about clocks, and her gender identity was secondary. I was the captain of a fire station; the mission really absorbed me, and the gender identity was really secondary to me."
