MORE ABOUT COMING OUT, THE MUSICAL

Coming Out, the Musical is a queer musical dramedy loosely based on a true story. It follows several college students as they experience their spark moments, and the questions and confusions that follow as they explore these new feelings and "come out of the closet," so to speak. Some are welcomed with acceptance as they start to share these discoveries with their friends and families, and others are met with resistance and ignorance. And while their journeys never end, each character finds that their path is clearer than it has ever been before.
