“Trevor: The Musical” is based on the 1995 Academy Award-winning short film “Trevor” directed by Peggy Rajski.
The musical follows charming 13-year-old Trevor on a turbulent journey of self discovery. After an embarrassing incident at school, Trevor must summon the courage to forge his own path.
The 1995 short ultimately inspired the nonprofit organization The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ youth.

Edie Saves the Birds
April 2022
Alyssa originated the title role of Edie in this “Exciting Off-Off Broadway Show” at Theatre East.
13-year-old Edie, daughter of a single mom, granddaughter of an ailing grandfather, wakes up each day singularly focused on one thing – saving the birds. Her methods are bold, unorthodox, occasionally illegal, and often futile. Never deterred, Edie dedicates every moment to her cause – that is, until she encounters a new and unexpected distraction. Kyle plays baseball. Kyle is popular. Kyle spoke to Edie for more than 30 seconds. Is this friendship? Could there be more to life than crashing town council meetings and passing out homemade buttons? Probably not…but maybe.
