Deborah received a 2012 GAP to allow her the time away from work to focus on completing her play, Hidden Potential, or The Straight Gene, as well as offsetting the costs associated with submitting if for consideration by theatres. The play challenges the positioning of science as ultimate authority on questions of identity or the directions one’s life should take whether concerning sexual orientation.
