CURRENT PROJECTS
Created by Nova Bradford
This show was inspired by the bizarre true story of three high-profile inmates (Luigi Mangione, P Diddy and Sam Bankman Fried) who were all held in the same prison at the same time. Part comedy, part social commentary, Luigi: The Musical reimagines larger-than-life public figures as exaggerated characters representing three disillusioned pillars of American life: healthcare, Hollywood, and "big tech."
What began as a bad idea has become one of the year's most talked-about independent theater debuts, with coverage from the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Hollywood Reporter, VICE, Broadway World, and more.
As Newsweek put it, “the musical itself hit the internet like a supernova, instantly going viral.”
THESPIANS
Created by Andre Margatini & Nova Bradford
Coming soon! A fringe theater troupe in San Francisco created Luigi: the Musical, the world’s most viral play. For the briefest of moments they saw a stable career in the arts…before it all came crashing down. Now, a scrappy playwright and her ragtag troupe of misfits fight to keep their provocative fringe theater alive in this mockumentary-style TV comedy.
THESPIANS is currently in production with an estimated release of Summer 2026. Check out our Patreon for updates.
Cry Wolf
Created by Nova Bradford
Sometimes the lie is the truest thing you'll ever say.
Cry Wolf exists in two distinct parts: a book and a one-woman show. The story follows one year in San Francisco, a year that spiraled into drug and dissociation and destroyed an eleven-year marriage. Or---depending on who's telling it---a year of artistic liberation, profound community, and falling in love. Both are true. Neither is the whole truth.
Drawing on a childhood shaped by a mentally ill parent, the work excavates how we construct, lose, and fight to reclaim our own narratives. It asks what it means to know something when the person who raised you doesn't experience a stable inner world; when dissociation blurs the line between emotion, imagination, and memory until metaphor becomes more honest than fact. And it sits with the particular exhaustion of wanting someone---anyone---to finally tell the truth about what happened, and knowing they won't.
Cry Wolf is currently in development with an estimated release of Fall 2026.
