THE STORY
Samantha O’Malley, 100% female human woman, is living happily in Butte, Montana when a carefully guarded family secret is unearthed. Not only does Sam have an estranged aunt no one has ever mentioned, but it turns out she's lesbian punk rock icon Vikki Vektor!
Desperate to learn more about Vikki, Sam tumbles down an internet rabbit hole of LGBTQIA+ history and culture. Discovering the word "nonbinary" opens up a world that is simultaneously completely unknown and innately familiar to Sam, who decides to head to LA to find Vikki and learn what it means to queer.
A "feel good identity crisis," Here and Their is a funny and joyful rock musical about coming out "late" in life, intergenerational queerness, and family - both blood and chosen. It's a show for trans people and the people who love them.
