Before Never Never Land

Before Never Never Land,
Before Captain Hook,
Before Wendy and Michael and John,
Even before Tinkerbell,

Peter Pan lived in a magical place
Called Kensington Gardens . . . .

The story of the early days of Peter Pan, and how he left his mother’s nursery, learned to fly, and meet Tinkerbell.  Based on the early writings of James M. Barrie, we follow Peter’s dark and brooding journey in the depths of winter, battling a magical sorcerer crow named Solomon Caw, and the loony over-protective Queen of the Fairies, Queen Mab.  Two humans get trapped in the deadly battle between Peter’s fierce desire for independence, and his intense search for a mother.

Cleopatra

Innocent and naïve Cleopatra fumbles her way through the trickeries of Roman politics, warfare and seduction.  Cleopatra is 18 years old, and unfortunately she’s about to get advice about how to seduce Caesar from the only friends she has:  two eunuchs.

Winner:  Stages Musical Theatre Festival.

Sherlock Holmes

It’s classic Sherlock Holmes.  A stolen diamond.  A femme fatale.  And of course, Dr. Watson, 221 Baker Street, and the Napoleon of Crime, Professor Moriarty.

Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty square off over the wildly unpredictable Irene Adler, and poor Dr. Watson is caught in the middle.  Affordable, castable, funny and tuneful, this adaptation is perfect for the theatre looking for a crowd-pleaser which won’t break the budget.

e-$cape: a cybermusical

A brilliant young computer programmer, Matthew Helber, 19, channels his rage through a violent cybersport online role-playing world called “Sect Wars,” where his sadistic insect-warrior avatar named Exothoptera is a cyber-hero.   When Matthew discovers that people are willing to pay real money for cyber real estate and cyber-objects, he launches his own cyberworld called e-$cape, only to discover that his most frightening battles aren’t in cyberspace, they’re with the “Sect Wars” corporate executives who will stop at nothing to extract real cash out of him.

Manson's Girls

The story of the Manson Family murders, told from the perspective of the girls.  With a driving, rock score and book/lyrics which explore the psyche of girls, this story is all-too-relevant today, being a parable and warning to any of us who follows the voice of authority without stopping to question.
