Maus. “New kid on the block, William Maus, could draw comparisons to the likes of Sam Smith – although, this nascent artist seems a little fresher; his finger is more on the pulse” – Wonderland Magazine(2023). As a One-Man Symphony, William Maus is not just the voice behind the music; he’s the architect of his sound. With a history of accolades, including acting credits with The Atlantic Theatre Company and The Guthrie Theatre, 54 Below, Joes Pub, and an honor from Harvard University as the 2020 International Informative Speaking Champion, Maus brings a rich background of storytelling and performance to his music. As he continues to navigate the complex landscapes of identity and expression, Maus invites his listeners to join him on his intimate universal journey.

Minerva. When a 1920’s starlet haunts a child in the pre-war apartment where she died, mutual obsession ensues. As a middle aged adult, the child (now an actor themself), returns to New York for an opportunity that could rekindle their faded stardom. The ghost, both proud and jealous, provides her advice as well as sabotage. But as her mortal subject descends into the mania she’s induced, the quality of the performance only grows stronger. Resorting to more drastic measures, she leaves them both to wonder if this role will be the start of a new chapter or the final act.

Patrick Ferris (HE/HIM) is a 21 year old artist, writer, and performer born and raised in Stuyvesant Town, Manhattan. He is a graduate of Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School and a student at Fashion Institute of Technology.
