A modern musical fairy tale where once-upon-a-time is right now, it follows the escapades of a royal family who set out on a journey to save their beloved kingdom from extinction.

The lighting concept for this show was to use the traditionally gendered colors of pink and blue as well as colors used to represent the groups LGBTQ+  community to explore each character as they discover their own identity through the aesthetics of a rock concert.
