SYNOPSIS
TURNOVER: A NEW LEAF is a floral-herbal musical centering the transformation of two neighboring businesses: FigLeaf, a queer nightclub, and Salontro, an immigrant family-owned beauty salon. Set in Dirty City, Malus Crabapple is the nightclub owner who sees immigrants as invasive while Rau Răm is a Green Card holder who teaches her natural-born citizen son Parsley that queerness is unnatural. When Pyrus visits town to spend the summer with their uncle Malus, Parsley befriends Pyrus and starts showing his queer self (his mother’s transgression). TURNOVER plants coming-of-age themes of family dynamics, performative activism, body image, and the duality between nature versus nurture.
