Shapeshifters: A Queer Comic Book Musical

SHAPESHIFTERS is a music-theatre multiverse dedicated to LGBTQ+ superheroes. Using the lense of superhero science fiction, SHAPESHIFTERS encourages young queer and trans participants to consider what “others” them as their super power. Equal parts entertainment, education, and empowerment, SHAPESHIFTERS assembles a community over digital and theatrical mediums.

No one can take my power away from me… but me.

TESTIMONIALS

“Literally nothing else exists like this. Thank you for creating a space where nonbinary and queer people actually have a story.” Arielle T.

“It’s very, very, very clear that we have been marked with the mark of the Shapeshifters, and it’s not going to go away… it’s going to do so much for so many people.” Kashaun M.

“Because I’m so new to this body that I’m in and accepting that… this is very validating and gives me hope for where I’m meant to be on stage in my future.” Maginnis B.

“There is so much in the lyrics. Every single song was its own story for every single one of us.” Peter K.

“This is nuclear bomb queer and it’s so cool.” Faye T.
