A QUEER COMING OUT
AND COMING-OF-AGE STORY
The Ladies Man centers around Julian, an Italian-American boy from New Jersey who deals with the struggles of coming out and coming-of-age, while escaping the shaming guilt of a Roman Catholic family. With the help of his colorful, hilarious and fiercely loyal friends plus an arsenal of New Jersey attitude, Julian navigates his way into adulthood, learning to face and accept the truth of himself at all costs. While the show has been developed privately, this is the first public presentation of material from The Ladies Man.

AN ORIGINAL MUSICAL COMEDY
ABOUT THE MILLENNIAL EXISTENTIAL CRISIS,
MOTHERHOOD
AND STEREOTYPES
THAT DEFINE A GENERATION
Meet Brenda: a quirky, stressed-out, single mom who hates her job, longs to be a writer, and can’t help but compare herself to the seemingly perfect “Jake’s Mom” at school. Brenda is finally ready for love and creativity in her life when her #influencer sister Katrina shows up eight months pregnant, completely unprepared for motherhood. Torn between two men, juggling an opinionated mother and an increasingly unstable Katrina, Brenda must learn how to break her self-destructive patterns and live filter-free so she can achieve her dreams. Millennials Are Killing Musicals is an entirely original, irreverently funny, and heartfelt musical about the Millennial existential crisis, motherhood, and stereotypes that define a generation.
