THE NEW AGE is an edgy half-hour dramedy that fuses grounded humor, the painful messiness of everyday life, and wildly imaginative realms of magical realism to explore the world of modern-day “new age” spirituality.
The show centers around Michael,
a young, gay, Latinx man who is in desperate need of some growing up. After losing a job, his boyfriend, and a ton of his self-worth, he walks into The New Age, a spirituality-themed bookshop, where he’s immediately offered a new job and told that he’s a witch and a healer.
But what the hell does that even mean?
Through The New Age shop and its wildly quirky cast of characters, Michael will spiral into a modern-day hero’s journey that will take him (and the audience) through a deep dive into Tarot cards, astrology, crystals, urban witches, the afterlife, identity, finding home, forgiving family, questioning faith, and seeking out your purpose while learning a shit ton about yourself along the way.
