Like The Wind
Like the Wind is a new electronica-pop musical that explores the lives of Bennie and Cai, two queer teenagers running away from a conversion therapy facility in the summer of 2018. Loosely inspired by Bonnie and Clyde, Bennie and Cai choose to change the fate that society has set for them and break through the constraints of expectations and rules. With a queer, female writing team at the helm, Like the Wind explores themes of identity, forgiveness, and queerness in young people.

The Girl With The Rose-Colored Eyes
Three magical dolls tell us a story about the fractured friendship between a conservative white doll maker and a liberal Black doll shop owner. Set against the backdrop of the 1968 Women’s Protests in San Francisco, The Girl with the Rose-Colored Eyes is a queer, feminist exploration of overcoming the quotidian constraints we place on ourselves, others, and society in order to better understand the ever dynamic world we live in.

A Princess Story
A Princess Story defies and denies the “damsel in distress” trope, choosing instead to put the princess front and center as the main heroine of the tale.

Will he make it home in time or will his phone (and all of the voices in his phone) abandon him?
