Tomboy Survival Guide is a funny and moving memoir told in stories, about how they learned to embrace their tomboy past while carving out a space for those of us who don't fit neatly into boxes or identities or labels. Ivan Coyote is a celebrated storyteller and the author of ten previous books, including Gender Failure (with Rae Spoon) and One in Every Crowd, a collection for LGBT youth.

Blending story, lyric, music, soundscape, memory and maybe even the odd elementary-school photograph, Tomboy Survival Guide is a live stage experience that defies gender and genre boxes with the same compassionate defiance and fearless and tender truth-telling that Ivan Coyote has been bringing to their work for nearly two decades of publishing and performing.
These four fast friends and fellow tomboys have been locking themselves in a small dim room once a week all winter to craft this world premier of their full-length show.
Tomboy Survival Guide is the music and story-driven collaboration of award winning writer and storyteller Ivan Coyote, the hummingbird high-energied drummer and percussionist Sally Zori, the mellifluous basslines of Pebbles Willekes, and the subtle and graceful tinkerings of trumpet player Alison Gorman. Writer and storyteller Ivan Coyote and an all-tomboy band invite the audience to join them as they navigate the narrow halls of public washrooms, skirt the treachery of growing up under the threat of being picked to be a flower girl at their aunt’s wedding, triumph over tying a double Windsor knot, and discover the beauty in realizing they were handsome, not pretty, all along. Tomboy Survival Guide is part anthem, part campfire story, and part instructions for the dismantling of the gender stories w e tell ourselves and each other.
