Nicky joins University of San Diego, San Diego State University, and Miracosta College for an intersectional interpretation of the fusion oratorio, Considering Matthew Shepard by Craig Hella Johnson.

The two hour oratorio is reconstituted into a 50 minute staged narrative, featuring 9 soloists, a chamber orchestra, and 60 choral singers from USD, SDSU, and Miracosta College. We've chosen the soloists based on their artistic and expressive capacity to tell intersectional stories. We have a track outlined for each of the soloists, though there isn't a throughline character for each track.

This reconception of the already-striking work interpolatse dialogue and movement (generated by a team of devisers) at critical points, in order to widen the scope of the narrative in order to "consider" what it means to be queer in this country today, recognizing queer joy and euphoria alongside grief.
