Mage McCormick (they/them) is a composer, lyricist, educator, and circus artist based in Brooklyn. As a non-binary, Autistic/ADHD writer, Mage likes to tell stories about those labeled as “different,” bringing to the stage characters they wish they had to relate to when they were growing up. In 2022, they were accepted to the Musical Creator’s Institute, where they began developing original musicals under the mentorship of Adam Gwon, Zina Goldrich, Anna Jacobs, and Andrea Daly (among others). As a singer, recent performing highlights include singing back up for Brooklyn-based rock band, Geese, on tour with Jack White.
When they are not writing musicals, Mage can be found coaching and training at Circus Academy New York and performing around the country with Circus Mischievous on aerial straps and flying trapeze. If you want to be their best friend, ask them about their obsession with Star Trek: The Next Generation or The X-Files.
