Project Creatine is a semi-biographical opera written for operatic tenor and drag artist Jordan Weatherston Pitts (Creatine Price). On an odyssey through city life, night clubs, and dreamscapes, our eponymous heroine encounters the highest highs and lowest lows of love, art, and living. Cantata, cabaret, and court drama: Project Creatine is a boundary-breaking story about radical self-definition. With nods to classic works of opera and musical theater, Project Creatine offers audiences a deeply emotional narrative in which they will find moments of both grandeur and humor.
