Little Astronaut is a bold original musical playing Native Earth Performing Arts as part of the 2026 Toronto Fringe Festival. Dear Evan Hansen meets John Proctor Is the Villain: Little Astronaut asks what it costs women to survive in spaces that want them to be smaller, quieter, and easier to control. It is a story about what it takes to hold your ground, and what changes when you stop doing it alone. Hazel and Lily arrive for their first day of engineering with everything to prove.
Hazel is bold, fierce, and chasing her dream of being an astronaut. Lily is quietly brilliant, steady, and less sure of where she is headed but certain of who she is. As they move through the competitive and isolating environment, Hazel burns out fighting every battle while Lily retreats farther inward. They become lab partners, but every attempt at a real connection gets interrupted and derailed by the men around them.
Little Astronaut is an unflinching and honest big-band musical about ambition, friendship, and refusing to disappear. Come see what it looks like when the people who lived the story are the ones telling it, on their own terms, with a 15-piece band behind them.
