RECENT TRUTHS

TEAM UNICORN at Joe’s Pub, 10.05.2026

In Team Unicorn, what begins as a joyful act of queer solidarity through sport develops into an unexpected act of resistance. At one of the nation’s top collegiate track programs, Ash finds themself caught between a dream of Olympic glory and the truth of who they are, knowing that transitioning would end their athletic career before it begins.

Using the track as a stage for public opinion, the musical explores perseverance, chosen family and the courage required to run one’s own race.

Bachman’s work blends Broadway voices with elements of rock, opera, musical theatre and poetry, using music to imagine and celebrate a queer future. 

The performance of music from Team Unicorn will take place Monday, October 5 at 9:30 p.m. at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater

Truth Future Bachman’s SKYWARD: An Endling Elegy Soars to Lincoln Center

“SKYWARD: An Endling Elegy” plays Lincoln Center on October 26, 2023 at 7:30.

Brooklyn-based composer, playwright, vocalist and La MaMa resident artist Truth Future Bachman deftly interweaves three of the most compelling cultural threads of our moment: musical theater, gender fluidity, and superhero/sci-fi parables. Bachman’s ongoing Shapeshifters saga reimagines the othering of queerness as a gift, empowering their diverse, trans-human cast’s epic adventures. Following the 2022 presentation of Luna and the Starbodies at last year’s Festival of Firsts, Lincoln Center is proud to host the world premiere of Bachman’s next great origin story within their multiversal mythos, Skyward. After birdwatcher Aria sights a flock of extinct animals within a great migration, the bird’s ghostly songs awaken an avian adaptation that transforms her life forever.
