Collisions
On the eve of Willow, Brennan, and Cielo’s grandmother’s funeral, the siblings reunite in their childhood home with their loved ones to reminisce, mourn, and celebrate their lives, both together and apart. Featuring a dynamic cast of actor-musicians and a sweeping score by Collard & Rosenblatt, Collisions embraces the messiness of life and encourages us all to continue to grow.

Coming Out: the musical
A queer musical dramedy loosely based on a true story. It tells the coming-out stories of six college students and the questions and confusion that follow as they explore these new feelings. We meet a pair of best friends who fall in love despite their fears, a young man with a secret, and an actress whose happily ever after is ripped from her fingers. Each character is on a journey to find themselves, ultimately searching for the acceptance that they can only find within.

Likewise
A dark comedy about female friendship, fighting dirty, and performing for the voices in your head, real or imagined. Joey, a 17-year-old trainwreck, is your winningly unreliable narrator through the growing pains of girlhood in a story about all the crazy things you do when you lose someone--and the even crazier stuff you’d do to get them back.

PARTICIPATING READINGS

Saint Sebastian
A queer coming-of-age musical comedy set on a Christian retreat farm over one very holy, very hectic Easter weekend. 14-year-old Sebastian’s sheltered life is upended when newcomer Jamie compels him to confront his privilege, his faith, and his identity, challenging Sebastian to decide between following the rules and following his heart. With help along the way from his favorite gospel girl group, some frisky farm animals, and a bit of divine intervention, Saint Sebastian is a playful send-up of adolescence, socioeconomic privilege, and the intersections of Christianity and queerness.
