I’ve spent the summer in the sky. Following developmental workshops at Vassar’s Powerhouse Theatre, and Fire Island Pines Arts Project (FIPAP) – I am elated to debut the world premier of my musical “SKYWARD: An Endling Elegy” at Lincoln Center on October 26th at 7:30pm. It is a piece that has let me love deeper and allow myself to be supported by my “flock” in ways I could never have imagined. We had wonderful audiences during workshops and it is an honor to be able to bring this piece to my hometown in such a welcoming way. I cannot wait to share this one with you. It’s truly special. See you in the sky!

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.
