What they’re sayin’
Feature in Seattle Times by Gemma Wilson
~~
“Every once in a while, a show comes along that feels like you are catching something
before the rest of the world does. That is the experience with Here and Their.”
“Original, funny, tender, layered, and filled with heart.”
“This is not simply a coming-out story, but a broader exploration of identity, love, and family.”
~~
“Here and Their is a heartfelt romp of self-discovery,
intergenerational connection & tension, and the power of naming one’s truth.”
“Unapologetically queer!”
“Hella extra!”
- Fosse Jack

THE STORY
Samantha O’Malley, 100% female human woman, is living happily in Butte, Montana when a carefully guarded family secret is unearthed. Not only does Sam have an estranged aunt no one has ever mentioned, but it turns out she's lesbian punk rock icon Vikki Vektor!
Desperate to learn more about Vikki, Sam tumbles down an internet rabbit hole of LGBTQIA+ history and culture. Discovering the word "nonbinary" opens up a world that is simultaneously completely unknown and innately familiar to Sam, who decides to head to LA to find Vikki and learn what it means to queer.
A "feel good identity crisis," Here and Their is a funny and joyful rock musical about coming out "late" in life, intergenerational queerness, and family - both blood and chosen. It's a show for trans people and the people who love them.
