Children's Letters to God

This charming musical brings to the stage those timeless questions we have all asked at one time or another. But, these children are going straight to the Boss for the answers.

Through music and laughter, explore such universal issues as sibling rivalry, divorce, the trials of being unathletic and first love. This entertaining show carries a universal message which crosses the boundaries of age and culture.

"Whimsical and charming family-oriented production about the innocent joys and sometimes simple sorrows of growing up." -- New York Daily News
"Looking for a show for kids AND adults? This one might be the answer to your prayers!" --WCBS TV .

A New Brain

After collapsing in a restaurant, cranky and unfulfilled composer, Gordon Schwinn is diagnosed with a potentially fatal brain condition. His illness sets him off on a wild, phantasmagorical ride through his own subconscious mind, while still in the confines of his hospital bed.

Gordon's nearest and sometimes dearest try to keep his mind at ease, even as he is being haunted and taunted by visions of his boss, a children’s television show host in a frog suit, who attempts to exacerbate his greatest fear — that he will die without ever having accomplished a work of lasting worth.

William Finn’s funny and soul-stirring autobiographical musical, A New Brain, is a welcome reminder of the restorative powers of art and creation.

HAIR!

HAIR is the groundbreaking musical that originated the rock musical. The music and culture of the 1960s hippie era explode on stage and shout a message of love, peace and brotherhood from the rooftops.

While favorite musical numbers including Aquarius and Let the Sunhine In may ring comfortably familiar, the driving almost chaotic vigor of the musical can shake you from your complacent seat in the audience and move you to carry the timeless message with you. Rarely do you find a show that had such shocking impact in its time that now, forty years later, so poignantly addresses the most troublesome issues we face in our own time.

Join the tribe as we relive the dawning of the Age of Aquarius with the seminal rock musical HAIR.
