Proud trans. She/her. Her real name is Glace.
Glace wrote and will star in Triple X, premiering at Queensland Theatre and Sydney Theatre Company at the Sydney Opera House in 2020. It’s about a straight wall street dude who has an affair with a trans drag performer and his family finding out the day before he gets married. (based on a true story!).
Scotty has it all: a multimillion-dollar loft in downtown Manhattan, a high-flying Wall Street job, and he’s about to marry the perfect fiancée, who also happens to be loaded. But when he meets trans performance artist Dexie, he discovers he wants something more. A friend? A confidante? A lover?
When the secret of their affair gets out, it’s sure to shock not only his dudebro Jase, his highly-strung mother Deb, and his lesbian activist sister Claire, but also a theatre audience strapped in for the ride of their lives.
From the wickedly funny pen of Australian-born, New York-based playwright, comedienne and performer Glace Chase, and also starring Josh McConville as Scotty, Contessa Treffon and Christen O’Leary, this play is an hilarious, honest and emotionally affecting look at entitlement, hypocrisy, and the realities of love.

Her plays include Whore, A Hoax, Oranges & Lemons, GULL or the lamentable comedie called love (hereto known as the Trannies’ Revenge) and Nobody’s Girl.

– INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL & HOSPITALITY AWARDS
“it’s like a mash-up of “This American Life” with “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” staged as a meandering, somewhat drunken walking tour“ – gnalreklaw
IT’S BEEN A SMASH HIT BUT… after three years I’m doing tours by private request only. It’s been a hell of a ride – I learnt so much, had so much fun, but I don’t want the jokes to get tired & running weekly tours was getting too much. It’s time to focus on international fame & fortune… BUT HIT ME UP TO DO A PRIVATE TOUR.
“This tour is about the best thing, of any kind, I have ever done during my many visits to NYC” – notpracticing
“One of the most HILARIOUS experiences of my entire life” – Bo F
“Til the day I die I will not forget this very unique experience… I was blown away and deeply moved” – tenton
“Glace has found a way to pass along the vibrant history of Greenwich Village in the most eccentric way I could imagine” – Sara
