The Parts I Keep Inside is a new original musical by Andrea J. Love and Jeffrey Schmelkin about the quiet power of vulnerability, the messiness of healing, and the bravery it takes to let someone in. Inspired by true events, the story follows a young man as he navigates queerness, mental health, and connection—learning that even the parts we hide can bring us closer together.
With a contemporary score and deeply human characters, The Parts I Keep Inside invites audiences into an intimate world where music becomes a lifeline, humor softens the heavy, and community begins in the places we least expect. It’s not just a story about being understood. It’s about finally understanding yourself.
