The 2026 iteration of Let’s Hear It For the Boys — an annual variety show series that debuted in 2024 — sold out the venue, broke box office records, and was livestreamed by an international audience. The acclaimed series features an entirely transmasculine and trans man cast, band, creative and ASL interpreter team that changes from year to year, and it presents new work by transmasc writers alongside songs from the existing musical theatre canon. Max is the show’s Lead Producer and Marketing Manager (working alongside Casting Director/Co-Producer Charlie Hano/Hano Casting), and he directed and stage managed the show in its first two years.
