POP OFF, MICHELANGELO! is a musical comedy about besties-turned-bitter rivals Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. After realizing they’re both gay, the two childhood friends attempt to earn divine forgiveness by becoming the greatest religious artists of all time. Can Michelangelo gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss his way to the Vatican? Will Leonardo shut up about his helicopter? With an electropop original score as infectious as the bubonic plague, and a script that has not been remotely fact-checked, this brand new Renaissance adventure is both hilarious and unhinged.

LEWIS LOVES CLARK is a funny, fast-paced epic musical about the famous Corps of Discovery expedition. Combining bluegrass, folk, and pop, this tragicomedy charts the uneasy alliance of Meriwether Lewis (a depressed closeted alcoholic), William Clark (just breathtakingly oblivious), Sacagawea (permanently exasperated), and York (would rather be birdwatching) as they grapple with the perils of exploration, infatuation, colonization, the terrible birth of our modern nation, and the not-so-great unknown. There is also a cute stuffed dog.
