Peach Thief is a multi-faceted, boundary pushing collective at the intersection of music and theater. Comprised of writer/composer/performers Reina Bracha and Matt Fukui Grandy as well as a rotating cast of artistic collaborators, Peach Thief has created a rock opera, a musical comedy, a folk rock EP and is currently working on a concept album.
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.
