"orpheus in the overworld was the perfect antidote [...] it was the full-frontal celebration of queer representation i needed. it was loud; it was participatory; it was gay AF. the cast and crew helmed by director shira helena gitlin created a delightful production. if you missed it, you missed a truly satisfying queer community happening."

"a story where the imperative is to go and live and find happiness - not even just the imperative, the threat - was a strange relief. the trans experience is steeped in death metaphorical and entirely too often literal. as a trans person - as a queer person - you will never escape those reminders, even in the beautiful things. there's no living without processing and without growth." - anonymous audience member
