Our Story
In a future ravaged by global warming, the last colony of survivors in New York City face an impending superstorm. "HIGHER GROUND: THE MUSICAL" is a four-part graphic novel series and stage musical that explores the intimate relationships between members of a multi-racial and multi-generational group struggling to survive in the only neighborhood still standing in the city. When mysterious strangers arrive, the colony must decide if they are a threat, or a way out.
