​Ruthless! The Musical        October 6 - October 30, 2016

Book and Lyrics by Joel Paley, Music by Marvin Laird

Outer Critics Circle and Drama desk winner, Ruthless! is a campy cult favorite. The beautiful and talented 8-year-old Tina Denmark will do ANYTHING to play the lead in the school play.... ANYTHING! Ruthless! famously spoofs Broadway musicals such as Gypsy and Mame, as well as classic films like The Bad Seed and All About Eve. Ruthless! is a hilarious romp through the world of Broadway, child acting, parenthood, and unbridled ambition.

A World Premiere adapted from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Conceived and Directed by Laura Connors Hull, Book by Jennifer Clements

​
A young orphan girl being raised by a warm but eccentric aunt is spending a tender first Christmas without her parents. While searching the attic for ornaments to decorate her aunt’s tree, she discovers a theatrical trunk once used by her puppeteer grandfather. When the extended family gathers on Christmas Eve, the contents in the trunk reawaken memories and spur the renewal of a long forgotten family tradition—the re-enactment of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. A production that breathes fresh new life into a timeless holiday classic.

Conceived and Originally Directed by Sheldon Epps

Blues in the Night, a scorching, Tony-nominated musical captures the soul of the blues. Featuring  twenty-six hot and torchy numbers that tell of the sweet, sexy and sorrowful experiences three women have with the lying, cheating snake of a man who does them wrong will leave you energized, inspired, and ready to wail. The interweaving stories are defined through glorious songs from Bessie Smith to Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Jimmy Cox, Ida Cox and more.

The Emperor's New Clothes        Mar 17 - April 9, 2017

Picture
A Learning Theater Production
​Adapted and Directed by Denise Perrino and Ellen Selby

Music by Matt Conner

Grab your royal attire and join the parade — the fashion conscious Emperor himself is spending his fortune on the most fabulous robe ever seen! However, some crafty weavers claim that their beautiful fabric is invisible to the hopelessly witless. Will you be able to see his new robe? Will the Emperor himself even see it? Will the swindling weavers be caught?! Our Learning Theater production puts a fresh, musical spin on Hans Christian Anderson's classic tale, hilariously illuminating how pride and vanity can make a leader a glorious buffoon.

A "Bold New Works" World Premiere Musical
Music and Lyrics by Matt Conner, Book and Lyrics by Stephen Gregory Smith

​
From the creative team behind the critically-acclaimed The Turn of the Screw and Monsters of the Villa Diodati! During the run of a legendary Broadway performer’s comeback one-woman show, the performances take unexpected turns as she tries to tell the story of her star-studded life in the theater. She frequently forgets anecdotes that she was supposed to tell, or makes up entirely new ones. Her stage manager and director try to come to her aid, but the insidious signs of Alzheimer’s disease are becoming apparent. Brimming with humor and pathos, this heart-warming Bold New Work twists and turns its way through the shadows of memory.
