Happy Fall: A Queer Stunt Spectactular

HAPPY FALL: A QUEER STUNT SPECTACULAR

Premiering Summer 2024

A stunt show UNlike ANY other

HAPPY FALL: A Queer Stunt Spectacular is an original highly interactive theatrical experience about a queer closeted stuntman’s journey to discover himself in a world of faux masculinity, unmasking the importance and danger of being true to oneself. HAPPY FALL is based on true-life stories and direct testimonies, and illuminates issues of racial and cultural identity in Hollywood. The full production, set for a premiere in 2024, will come to life as an interactive stunt show, with life-size puppets, special effects and death-defying physical acts.
