|
Breaking Up is Hard to Do |
It's a Wonderful Life |
|
a musical comedy featuring the songs
of Neil Sedaka
directed by Daniel Vernon |
from the film by
Frank Capra
a drama directed by Andrea Fairchild and Jeff Hensley |
|
Set at a Catskills resort in
1960, this is the sweetly comic story of Lois and Marge, two
friends from Brooklyn in search of good times and romance over
one wild Labor Day weekend. The score showcases 18 Neil Sedaka
classics, including “Where the Boys Are,” “Sweet Sixteen,”
“Calendar Girl,” and, of course, the chart-topping title song. |
The saga of George
Bailey, the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose
dreams of escape and adventure have been quashed by family
obligation and civic duty, whose guardian angel has to descend
on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and to remind him — by
showing him what the world would have been like had he never
been born — that his has been, after all, a wonderful life. |

Forever Plaid |
3rd-Annual
10-Minute Play Project |
|
written, originally
directed, choreographed by Stuart Ross
a musical directed by Paul Ballard |
|
|
En route to their
first big gig at the airport Hilton cocktail bar, Fusill-Lounge,
in their cherry-red 1954 Mercury convertible, the members of
Forever Plaid were slammed broadside by a school bus filled with
eager Catholic teens and killed instantly. The teens were on
their way to witness the Beatles make their U.S. television
debut on the Ed Sullivan Show, and miraculously escaped
uninjured. It is at the moment when their careers and lives
ended that the story of Forever Plaid begins. Features 21 songs. |
There will only be
one opportunity to see these original works, written and
rehearsed in a 24-hour period by the area's best talent. |
