Bury Your Gays: A New Musical Comedy

Bury Your Gays is a new musical comedy about a gay-straight alliance encountering cosmic horrors in their high school’s basement.

It’s 2013 in Central Jersey’s Dunmouth Township, where the 17-year cicadas refuse to die. Gio’s father describes the mutant cicadas as “unnatural,” the same word he used last summer when Gio came out as a lesbian. Determined to find the reason for the cicadas’ mutations and for her own queerness, Gio becomes obsessed with investigating the (un)natural.

The show performs Off-Broadway in the SheNYC Arts festival, the premier festival showcasing new, original works by women, trans, & non-binary writers.
