TWINK DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE

TWINK DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE is a dark comedy that follows a Korean skincare-obsessed Korean American gay trans guy trying to outrun his twink death. Braiding together queer and Korean traditional funeral rites, the play follows Twink as he is forced to face his biggest fear: running out of time.

TWINK DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE was commissioned by Celebration Theatre for Trans Lineage: Rites of Passage. The play had its world premiere at Greenway Court Theatre in December 2025.

NARCISSUS AS PLOT FORM: A TRANSSEXUAL RAGE(R)

NARCISSUS AS PLOT FORM: A TRANSSEXUAL RAGE(R) is a modern-day t4t4t love story that re-imagines Narcissus as a broke Bushwick transfag who ultimately breaks out of the doomed narrative of his namesake. Weaving together Ancient Greek gods and modern queer myth, the play is a meta-commentary on twink/doll solidarity, trans like transgression, and what it’s like to escape the prophecy put on your head and make your dreams come true. Make transition sexy again!

SWAN

If you had to give up everything you knew, everyone you loved, to become something you didn’t understand…would you? SWAN follows Richard, a 3rd gen Korean American gay trans guy, who flips off his bigoted grandma with the help of the Biblically accurate angel of of transness. Aiden, a closeted white trans guy and tradwife YouTuber, is haunted by the same god. Both Richard and Aiden are forced to confront their fears of the future, the queerness they’ve buried, and their need to be who they truly are, even if that means becoming monstrous.
