It’s 1981 in America, and Trevor Nelson is busy navigating adolescence in suburbia while dreaming of a life in show business. When a humiliating and cruel incident at school suddenly puts him in the wrong spotlight, Trevor must summon the courage to forge his own path. A deeply moving and funny story of self-discovery and the power of acceptance, Trevor is about living your best life with a ton of passion… and a touch of pizzazz.
Based on the film that inspired the Trevor Project.

Our 20th Anniversary season is about coming home: To your identity, to your abode, and to your people.
It’s been 20 years, and we’ve come a long way baby! From our humble beginnings as the company that does “the weird stuff”, we are proud of our 20 years in Madison, WI at the forefront of discovering “what’s next”!
Music Theatre of Madison is doing works you’re not likely to see twice; works that challenge and galvanize audiences to reflect on our current world. We can’t do that without your support.
Music Theatre of Madison performs and works on the ancestral land called Teejop (Four Lakes) of the Ho-Chunk Nation (People of the Sacred Voice). They were forcibly removed from this stolen land many times and continued to return despite the danger. Their songs and stories tell of their proud history being here for more than three ice ages. MTM respects the sovereignty of the First Nations in Wisconsin. We acknowledge and celebrate the thriving Indigenous peoples of our community -- those who were here, those who are here, and those who will be here -- as we continue to bring new ideas and new artistic works to Madison's cultural landscape.
