RAW Festival presents Reprehensible Mona Trans-Girl Live and in Person

Solo performer Jerry Metzker is one of four acts presenting at the SAFEHouse Arts RAW Festival on Saturday, October 18, 2025, in San Francisco. Metzker is introducing a new drag character in "Reprehensible Mona Trans-Girl Live and In Person." In the piece, the title character shows her video followers several dumbbell exercises to help them become more fit and healthy. "I think I look pretty good for a woman in her fifties," she says, insisting that she is a natural female. Sometimes, she gets distracted from the workout to share her thoughts on the state of the United States, false eyelashes, fake news, liars and natural bodies. "I am unabashedly an American patriot," she declares.

In addition to "Reprehensible Mona Trans-Girl," the October 18 RAW presentation features three dancer/choreographers: Mayuri Chakaborty, Marc Cunanan Chappelle and Tejasvi Natyalaya.
