The story centers on Riley who is living a seemingly perfect life in an idyllic suburban town but beneath the polished exterior lies discontent and a mystery buried deep within her psyche—one that even she is unaware of until she's abducted by her former family and it all comes back -- along with some pretty badass powers. The story itself is one of empowerment as we follow Riley from the “Postcard” world in which she has little value, limited agency, and essentially no power, to a world in which she begins to remember, perhaps reluctantly, who she really is and the incredible power she holds. And as Riley rediscovers her true self, we may begin to ask ourselves - what powers are we willing to repress to fit into the world we find ourselves in?

This nuanced coming of age story follows 12-year-old Peter Goldsmith while he navigates all the developmental changes of early adolescence as a Jewish kid of divorced parents in a culturally blended family, and as a gay kid who won’t figure that out for another 10 years. Set in the early 80’s, a time with few cultural markers for suburban kids and even fewer markers (if any) for queer kids, Peter has little guidance from parents and step-parents about how to make his way. But with the help of a few understanding adults (and daydreams of the musical fantasy variety that keep him sane), Peter starts on the long path to making sense of it all.

As the day goes on it’s clear that there are deep-seated problems within their relationship that neither of them possess the emotional intelligence to tackle head-on. Instead, they engage in their usual routine of jokes and games and it devolves into a role play that gradually consumes their entire existence. However, it is through this experience that they are finally able to genuinely communicate with each other and determine whether or not they should even be a couple at all.

It’s the 1960s and Katharine is a music-obsessed, first-generation, Chinese- American with no prospects after high school graduation. When she and her band get a chance to perform at a local night club, she struggles with what means more to her: family or her own passions. Wonderful World explores what it means to dream and how that differs amongst generations, especially immigrants and their children. For the protagonist, Katharine, life in America is about self-actualization. She’s been afforded the ability to pursue her dreams. For her immigrant parents, it is about pushing aside their own passions so they could adapt and survive in this new world. It’s a layer that many families of immigrants will recognize and hopefully enlighten those who are unfamiliar with it.

In today’s tough, fearful, and often divisive times, people embrace hope and seek out role models or blueprints for success despite seemingly impossible odds. They also desire meaningful, motivating connections, minimized feeling of divisions, and nourishment for their souls. We believe great music and profound storytelling does all three.
