Catching Fireflies is a folk musical that centers on a writer coming to terms with her gender identity amidst her queer friend group of artists stuck together in Philadelphia over the 2020 pandemic. Through intertwining love triangles, questioning of common queer stereotypes, & conversations between her authentic and physical self, our writer explores what it means to reach your full potential as an artist and an individual.
