Billy to His Friends
Written by Cassandra Rose
May 2026 at The Wild Project - Fresh Fruit Main Stage Festival
Directed by Andrew Coopman
Oliver "Billy" Sipple saved President Ford in 1975, but resists being called a hero. Outed by Harvey Milk, he faces family rejection, public scrutiny, and mental decline. Struggling to reclaim control, Billy confronts his past and, after his death in 1989, is offered a supernatural chance to embrace his heroism—all told with humor, heart, and camp by a present-day queer ensemble.

Directed by Andrew Coopman
MIKEY! is a queer coming-of-age story about Michelangelo. Determined to be remembered as a sculptor, Mikey spirals into crisis when the Catholic Church forces him to paint the Sistine Chapel.
As the ceiling looms above, he relives his rise in Florence under Lorenzo Medici and his illicit affair with Lorenzo’s son, Piero “the Unfortunate.”
Dodging sodomy police, clashing with Leonardo da Vinci, and guided by his loyal friend Francesco and a defiant inner muse, Drag Queen David, Mikey is asked to choose between love and immortality. He chooses his career, only to live the consequences.
Elysian Fields
Created by Steve Fisher and Marc Fliedner
Directed and Choreographed by Andrew Coopman
Fall 2026, Location TBD
Elysian Fields takes place at the Blue Moon of Kentucky Club's 2016 Presidents' Day P.I.L.F* Party. (*Presidents I'd Like to... Find on the dance floor). Hostess Black-Eyed Suzie (Wayne) and the evening's attendees gather to celebrate the recent Supreme Court ruling affirming gay marriage by having bar patrons Josh Reddy (Rose) and Abe Manowitz (Cherin) tie the knot on the dance floor. But mid-party, Abe gets cold feet, risking a disastrous end to the annual event.
History repeats itself though in this time-travel musical, we also meet another couple named Josh and Abe: Joshua Speed and his long-time bedmate Abraham Lincoln... and, maybe this time, their story will end differently.
