WE THE PEOPLE: A Celebration of Trans Storytelling, Joy, and Resilience

Trans stories (and theatre) are more important now than ever before, and 54 Below is proud to highlight trans storytelling with We The People. This brand-new concert features an all trans cast sharing their experiences through song and speech, all while celebrating trans joy and resilience. Featuring a wide variety of music from Broadway and beyond and produced by Reese Brooks, We the People highlights the importance and impact of queer voices. Join this cast for an unforgettable evening of heartfelt and inspirational storytelling!

Past performers of Brooks’ shows have accrued credits from both television (CBS, Amazon Prime, Nickelodeon) and stage (Lincoln Center, Broadway’s Town Hall, 54 Below).
