Coming Soon

A New Rock Musical

April 21-30 on Z Space’s Steindler Stage
Written & Composed by Rachel Lark
Directed by Rachel Dart

Maggie loves Mark. And Mark REALLY loves Maggie. But Maggie has a secret... she has been faking her orgasms for their entire eight-year relationship. With the help of her inner voices, Maggie goes on a wild adventure to pursue sexual satisfaction, figure herself out, and finally stop faking it. With an original story and music by Rachel Lark—who has been lauded for “tackling some massive issues through her personal lens of razor-sharp, satirical wit,” (Billboard)—Coming Soon features original songs including “The Manual Says,” “Why Do I Like This,” and “I’m Trying Hard to Make This Hot.” 

This new boldly sex-positive and brutally honest pop-rock musical comedy invites audiences on an exploration of kink, queerness, non-monogamy, and feminism.

“Oakland singer-songwriter Rachel Lark pours so much feeling into a single lyric that you might wonder where she finds reserves for the next line, let alone the rest of a number. But her first musical, “Coming Soon” at Z Space, is all about holding back…”
—Lily Janiak, San Francisco Chronicle
