The Backstagers, an all-ages series from BOOM! Studios' BOOM! Box imprint, tells the story of an all-boys private school theater crew -- with a backstage door that leads to different worlds. The original miniseries ran for eight issues from August 2016 to March 2017, and issue #1 won the first-annual Prism Award for "Best Single Issue From a Mainstream Publisher."
