Oh Dreams

“Oh Dreams” (music by Matt Fukui Grandy and Reina Bracha, lyrics by Reina Bracha) is a single that features vocals from indie rock star Ezra Furman and opera-trained, self-described “Jewsician” Marques Hollie. The power ballad featuring a rock band and a string quartet 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 immigrating 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. They carry on an intense affair, blissfully unaware of the ship’s fate. Available on all streaming platforms.

invisibleDISS, which premiered at Philly Fringe 2025 is a solo show by Reina Bracha about the experiences of navigating the broken systems that do not support people with so-called invisible disabilities. The story is told by bringing to life a series of authentic documents from Reina’s own life during her first years with Long Covid. With imagination, wit, and eclectic performance styles, she makes the mundane extraordinary and the extraordinary mundane. By performing emails, texts, DMs, voice notes, diary entries, doctor’s notes, official SSDI documents, and more into an embodied auto-documentary narrative collage, Reina strives to make her invisible struggles visible for her communities to witness and perhaps transform.

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.
