Mixing elements of rock concert, musical theater, and comic book action, The Red Shades tells the story of Ida, a teenage trans girl, who runs away from her small-town life to join a gang of trans superheroes squatting in the Tenderloin.

Set in 1966 against the backdrop of The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, The Red Shades is "an unholy mashup of herstory, magic, mischief, gossip, hearsay, imagination, raw emotion, movement, music and unapologetic trans politics."

Totally Normal: A Co-Dependent Trans Friendship Musical is the story of Tabitha and Squid, broke stoner roommates who do everything together—like running the illegal, weed-fueled Hotbox Salon out of their apartment in Oakland, CA. Can their business survive Squid’s problem drinking, Tabitha’s risky hookup with their building’s super, and the everyday struggles of working class trans life? No spoilers, but it’s gonna get messy! In this brand new show, trans people aren’t punchlines—they deliver punchlines. Combining the spirit of groundbreaking queer musicals like Falsettos and Fun Home with the broad, raunchy humor of Avenue Q, TOTALLY NORMAL is a loving, hilarious tribute to the humor and humanity at the heart of trans friendships.

SHAKE ME THROUGH THE NIGHT (music by Matt Fukui Grandy and Reina Bracha, lyrics by Reina Bracha) is a concept album that tells the epic saga of a queer Jewish love triangle aboard the Titanic in 1912. Herschel and Blua are a married couple from the London Jewish ghetto emigrating to New York to start a new life. Herschel falls in love with Jonah a crew member aboard the Titanic, to whom he gives his wife’s wedding dress, and they carry on an intense affair. Blua is consumed with anger and begins to have prophetic visions, but no one aboard the ship could imagine what will happen next. Featuring a kaleidoscopic fusion of genres from goth cabaret to klezmer punk to indie chamber pop to R&B hardcore and more, this album draws listeners into an engrossing sonic landscape. Its storytelling plumbs the depths of a diasporic people in their queer struggles for connection and redemption.
