FOREVER PLAID
Written and Originally Directed & Choreographed by Stuart Ross
“Once upon a time, there were four guys (Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie) who discovered that they shared a love for music... Rehearsing in the basement of Smudge's family's plumbing supply company, they became "Forever Plaid". On the way to their first big gig, the "Plaids" are broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. It is at this moment when their careers and lives end that the story of Forever Plaid begins.”
CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
Book by David Greig | Music by Marc Shaiman
Lyrics by Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman
“The world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory…but only to a lucky few. Young Charlie Bucket and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a life-changing journey through Wonka’s world of pure imagination including chocolate waterfalls, nutty squirrels and the great glass elevator, all to be revealed by Wonka's army of curious Oompa-Loompas.”
OUR SUMMER SURPRISE
Join us this summer for a musical we’ve been wanting to produce ever since it opened. We aren’t allowed to announce the title yet, but we know you’ll be as excited for this show as we are.
Stay tuned for our big announcement!
GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!
By Anthony King & Scott Brown
"In this two-man musical spoof, a pair of aspiring playwrights perform a backers’ audition for their new, ill-advised project – a big, splashy musical about printing press inventor Johann Gutenberg. With an unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud (Richie Call) and Doug (Stefan Espinosa) sing all the songs and play all the parts in their crass historical epic, with the hope that one of the producers in attendance will give them that elusive Broadway contract.”
THE OUTSIDER
By Paul Slade Smith
"Ned Newley doesn't even want to be governor. He's terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for... the worst candidate to ever run for office. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.”
