***A Remastered Full-Series Cut, live and in-person, with cast appearances, exclusive merchandise, and FREE ADMISSION***

Quincy Blueburger is an eleven-year-old muggle-born LEGO. She has messy hot pink hair and she loves talking to animals. One night, an owl smashes into her bedroom window with a letter that will change her life: she has been admitted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With high hopes to learn magic and make new friends, Quincy arrives at the castle in the countryside to learn that she is the school’s first ever out transgender student.

The harmful anti-trans views expressed this last year by JK Rowling have sparked ongoing debate within the queer fandom about how LGBT fans should relate to the author and her work going forward. This project aims to investigate how an out transgender girl would navigate the Hogwarts we see portrayed in the book series, and it also shows historically beloved characters from her unique perspective.

Underscoring has been provided by the Bay Area Rainbow Symphony, multiple participants come from the 2020 graduating class from Yale School of Drama, and Theatre Battery is partnering with UTOPIA WA (formerly U.T.O.P.I.A. Seattle) and other local LGBT nonprofits to raise awareness for trans advocacy work in the pandemic.
