What Are Audiences Saying?

The show was absolutely terrific! SO so gorgeous and
powerful and moving and original.
It's refreshing to see musical theatre tackle taboo themes with such grace. As a woman, I feel seen by musical theatre in a way I never have before.
I loved it! The music was great, and the writing superb. I
appreciated that you covered such an important topic so
sensitively.
Characters were great. Story was very meaningful and
poignant. Truly amazing work from start to finish!

Meet the Writers
Original book, music, and lyrics for Safe Hands were co-written by Alara Magritte & Daniel Rosen.
ALARA magritte
Alara Magritte is a lyricist, composer, playwright, and filmmaker whose work finds itself situated in the space between the grotesque and the gorgeous. She is a 2015 California Playwrights' Project winner for her piece "The Tangible Tollbooth." She has worked with many theatre organizations including Playwrights Foundation, the New York Musical Festival, and Tony Award-winning TheatreWorks: Silicon Valley, as well as had her theatre and film work featured along both the West and East Coasts. She holds a BA in Playwriting and Screenwriting from Purchase College. Her sapphic snowmance song, "Snow One Else for Me"  was featured on Playdate Theatre's recent release, (We're Already) Home For The Holidays.
