Stone Cold

A new Musical

Created by Kathleen O’Sullivan, Delaney Guyer, and Kenny Youch

"Stone Cold" presents a compelling retelling of Medusa's story, transforming her from a figure of Greek mythology into a symbol of strength and transformation. Set in a world where modern-day Athens mirrors the glitz and complexities of Los Angeles, gods and goddesses are celebrated with fervor reminiscent of today's celebrity culture. This backdrop serves as the stage for a deeply personal exploration of themes such as innocence lost, the power of love, the importance of sisterhood, and the quest for redemption, all through the lens of a sexual assault survivor's journey.

Our Calling

"Stone Cold" was created as a safe haven for those grappling with the grief of sexual assault. This show intends to be a place for those to turn to when in need of understanding and comfort with the ultimate message of hope and resilience. Our team fights to redefine what being a survivor looks like.
