They & Them

• We're both a part of the BMI Musical Theatre Writers Workshop.

• We WON the 48th Annual Samuel French Off-Off-Broadway Short Play Festival!

• We were selected for the 2023 Johnny Mercer Songwriters Project.

• Original 10-minute musical The Velociraptor’s Very Good Day was a part of the 2022 Prospect Theater Company Musical Theater Lab. It was also selected to be staged in the 2023 Sound Bites X Festival. 

• We won a Danny Award for our song "Where Do You Go?" which is another number from The Reality Shaper.

• "Epic Tale," a song from The Reality Shaper, was a finalist in Taylor Louderman's Write Out Loud contest and was performed at 54 Below by Broadway star Tee Boyich.

• We’ve been commissioned to write a TYA musical with EPIC Players, a neuro-inclusive theatre company in NYC.

• In our free time, we continue posting silly videos on Tiktok.

Our flagship project is The Reality Shaper: A Musical Podcast, a D&D-inspired fantasy musical that combines epic adventure, queer romance, and moral exploration. By writing a podcast, we are able to create a piece that lifts a lot of the traditional accessibility barriers intrinsic to musical theatre. Within the audio medium, there's nothing blind folks like Shane can't see, and Autistic folks like Sair don't have to risk sensory overload to enjoy it. 

Last year, we started posting about the project, and several of the songs went viral, including “The Top Ten Worst Ways to Die” and "The Nonbinary Song," the latter of which has gained nearly a million views across posts. Due to demand, we released our self-produced, proof of concept pilot episode, which we recorded in one week with six of our friends and then sound designed and edited over the course of a few hundred hours. Since its release in August 2022, the podcast has been downloaded over 4500 times, and has gained 1800 subscribers and 200 5-star reviews across Apple Podcasts and Spotify, most of which are from the first week of release.
