Three homeless friends — a Filipina-American with a hidden past, a Filipina trans woman, and a Puerto Rican hustler — struggle on the Chicago streets to scrounge up enough cash to bus it to San Francisco before the winter cold hits. But when a bearded man on a quest, a mystery man in sunglasses, a wealthy john, and a doughnut shop’s spell-casting assistant manager put their hopes and friendships to the test, the trio find they must spare some change of a far queerer kind. Thunder Above, Deeps Below premiered at the Barrow Group Theatre in New York City in 2009. It was produced by Second Generation theatre company.
