Truth, Dare, or Lesbian
A new comedy special
By Emily Drossell
At a sleepover in the early 2000s, a girl proposed we play "truth, dare, or lesbian." We all agreed...and then no one chose "lesbian." I left the next morning having missed out on not only my first queer experience, but the chance to actually play the game (and figure out what in the world the "lesbian" option entails). But never again! In this new musical comedy cabaret, I present my truths, perform some dares, and delight in the many interpretations of the lesbian option as I respond in song to prompts given by you, the audience!

Miss March
An original musical

Music & Additional Lyrics by George Luton
Discover the truth behind the four famous "March sisters" of Little Women in this musical detailing the life of author Louisa May Alcott as she wrestles with the legacy of her novels and how they have immortalized her family in fiction. With a war-torn nation all too ready to believe that her dark childhood was instead the idealized fantasy from her book, Louisa struggles to maintain a grasp of the reality, as she sees her own depictions of "Meg," "Jo," "Beth," and "Amy" challenging the very essence of who she and her sisters truly are.
