Team Starkid
Formed at the University of Michigan in 2009, Team StarKid represents a coalition of “supermegafoxyawesomehot” writers, directors, actors, and designers dedicated to creating accessible, quality theatre for the modern era.
StarKid first invaded the Internet in July 2009 with A Very Potter Musical—a fan-made parody that premiered on YouTube and immediately went viral. Filmed during a live performance through the University of Michigan, the production was an instant hit with fans of the Harry Potter series and quickly garnered nearly 2 million views. Other StarKid productions include Me and My Dick, A Very Potter Sequel, Starship, and Holy Musical B@man.

Harry and the Potters
Imagine if Harry Potter quit the quidditch team and started a punk rock band. Take that one step further and imagine that he stole a time-turner and decided to start that band with himself from a different point in time. Imagine a band that uses the power of rock and roll as the ultimate weapon against evil. This is Harry and the Potters.
Since 2002 they have released three full-length albums and played over 500 shows in libraries, rock clubs, art spaces, bookstores, basements, backyards, and pizza places all over the world. They are now hailed as the founders of the wizard rock genre—a D.I.Y movement of bands playing songs about the Harry Potter books.
Nathan Nickerson
Nathan Nickerson is an award-winning professional magician and mentalist from Pensacola, FL. He began studying magic and sleight of hand at the young age of 11. Over the last 12 years, Nathan has brought his unique style of magic to audiences across the US, England, and onboard Norwegian Cruise Lines.
