A new musical by Kit Yan & Melissa Li

Pam, an "unremarkable" trans woman in her 40s, is perfectly content with living her humdrum life as a toll booth worker on the New Jersey Turnpike. Her life changes when she receives a call that her estranged father has passed away. Upon returning home, she discovers his secret passion for competitive aerobics, and in an attempt to connect with a man she never got a chance to know, she convinces a ragtag group of trans friends to compete with her. But in order to win, she must defeat her high school arch-nemesis.
