K-12 is set for release on Sept. 6. Martinez will also be releasing a full-length companion feature film of the same name.
"It's been a bit since I've been on tour and I'm incredibly excited to bring the movie to life on stage," Martinez said in a statement. "I'm putting all of my energy into making it not only visually stunning and pleasing to the senses but also a fun learning experience and a safe place to express yourself and be accepted for exactly who you are."
