Lizard Boy
When Trevor was a child, a strange encounter with a dragon left his skin green and scaly. Now, he only leaves his house once a year for MonsterFest, the one day where he feels safe to share his skin with the world—and this year, Trevor has a date! When another survivor warns him that the dragons may be returning, Trevor must decide if he has the courage to save the world … and his first date. This brand new production, filled with local talent, offers up an exuberant, electrifying, joyful coming-of-age musical that proves we’re all superheroes; sometimes, to change the world, all we need is to access our inner superpowers and get a little help from our friends!
Fat Ham
A week after Juicy’s father dies, he finds himself at a backyard barbecue celebrating the marriage of his mother and uncle—sound familiar? James Ijames’s Pulitzer Prize-winning reimagining of Hamlet casts the sweet prince of Denmark as a queer, Black boy from the South. In this comedy born from tragedy, Juicy must choose between seeking vengeance for his father’s death or staying true to his own heart—a story of identity, family, and liberation as we become our truest selves.
Kristina Wong, #FoodBankInfluencer
In a SNAPpy (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, that is!) musical comedy like no other, Kristina Wong, self-proclaimed #FoodBankInfluencer gives us a karaoke fueled education on America’s emergency food system. After experiencing the lacking food distribution from New York to the Navajo Nation, Kristina Wong returns, as only she can, with this hilariously irreverent examination of food insecurity, government assistance, and grassroot solutions to global issues.
