In this episode, we continue our conversation with Sean McCabe and Jinhee Kim about their new musical: Saint Sebastian.
Saint Sebastian is a queer coming-of-age musical comedy, set on a Christian retreat farm over one Easter weekend. At the heart of the story is the relationship of Sebastian, a sheltered, naïve kid whose parents own the farm, and Jamie, a housing-insecure kid staying at the farm with his single mother. It’s a story about socioeconomic privilege, the awkwardness of adolescence, and queerness in conflict with religious tradition.
This episode features the songs “Hallelujah High” performed by Tori Lynn, Naima Alakham, Nicole Tsarouhas, Maya Thomas, Stephen Mellen and many other talented performers, as well as “Only Trees” performed by Mike Cefalo.
