Trevor and Partick chat with us about the journey this musical has been on from the writing process to its current stage, the challenges of putting together a new musical and what they hope audiences take away from seeing the show.

About Max and Aaron Write a Musical: Set in present-day Montreal, two childhood friends and creative collaborators race against the clock to finish their latest project: a coming-of-age musical loosely based on their lives. But as they deep dive into the work, long-repressed truths rise to the surface and threaten their partnership.
