WELCOME TO MY “holistic” (personal and business, and left-brain/right brain) TransFranSisco website – See below:
I’m sharing on this site (1) stuff from my right-brain such as performances (acting, comedy, singing, plays, writing, poems, visual art, songwriting, essays etc.) (the tabs begin with RB) AND (2) stuff from my left brain, such as information about taxes, financial planning, investments, insurance, business consulting, etc. (the tabs begin with RB) . The tabs at the top of this page could help guide you. I believe that my full-time life as a female since 1/1/11 has enabled me to better integrate these 2 sides of my brain and be more creative, productive and enable me to share myself and help and enjoy people more effectively. Please contact me. The best way is to my cell at 914.589.1013. Otherwise see CONTACT tab. (See ABOUT ME for bio and info about me).

A fast-paced performance with Fran Sisco, one of New York’s most popular and prolific transgender female creatives, and many talented artists. Since her transition on 1/1/11 to full-time female, Fran has performed on many famous stages and with well-known entertainers, and has received awards and accolades in several fields.

Also featured are original songs, fashions, visual art, stand-up comedy and skits, all performed live by Fran and her exciting cadre of talented performers.
Various scenes from “Once a Boy” will include brief reenactments of (1) the first time she went outside in the sunshine as a cross-dressing 10-year old boy (2) at age 17 being brought by her misunderstanding father to a midtown NYC prostitute (3) how she was nearly killed in a violent hate crime and the silver lining and (4) the heart-to-heart poignant talk Fran and her wife had that led to a separation and (5) fun scenes showing Scenes from “It’s an Italian Thing! No, It’s a Black Thing” shed humorous light on Fran’s Italian-American roots and issues with prejudice and differences. You are sure to love the many creative and entertaining sides of Fran Sisco and be fully-engaged in the evening!
