HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL
Book, Music and Lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy
 

Based on the classic 1989 film, Westerberg High is ruled by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing junta: Heather, Heather and Heather, the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. But misfit Veronica Sawyer rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, the dark and sexy stranger J.D., who plans to put the Heathers in their place - six feet under.

Heathers The Musical is the darkly delicious story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy, beautiful teenage misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers. But before she can get comfortable atop the high school food chain, Veronica falls in love with the dangerously sexy new kid J.D. When Heather Chandler, the Almighty, kicks her out of the group, Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather’s aerobicized ass… but J.D. has another plan for that bullet.

Created by the award-winning creative team of Kevin Murphy (Reefer Madness, “Desperate Housewives”), Laurence O’Keefe (Bat Boy, Legally Blonde) and Andy Fickman (Reefer Madness, She’s the Man). Heathers The Musical is a hilarious, heartfelt and homicidal new show based on the greatest teen comedy of all time. With its moving love story, laugh-out-loud comedy and unflinching look at the joys and anguish of high school, Heathers will be New York’s most popular new musical. Are you in, or are you out?

A Streetcar Named Desire
By Tennessee Williams
 

The classical American drama “A Streetcar Named Desire,” is easily one of the most influential works of modern American literature.  In this riveting story of raw emotion, conflict and loss, Tennessee Williams explores passion with daring honesty, and forges a poetic theatre of multidimensional psychological insight that shatters conventional proprieties and transformed the American stage.

“A Streetcar Named Desire” reveals to the very depths the character of Blanche du Bois, a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her to reject—so far as possible—the realities of life with which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon Blanche by her sister, Stella, with whom she goes to live in New Orleans and only intensifies when Stella’s earthy and extremely "normal" young husband, Stanley, leads her to a revelation of tragic self-delusion and madness.

William Shakespeare’s
The Comedy of Errors
 

In this high-energy Shakespeare comedy, we meet separated-at-birth-twins Antipholus of Syracuse and Antipholus of Egeus and their also separated-at-birth-servants.  See where this is going already?  Mistaken identity and hilarity ensues as one brother tries to find the other, one wife is flabbergasted that her “husband” has fallen in love with her sister and then a nun shows up at the end riding a deus ex machina!  The Comedy of Errors really lives up to its name and is sure to provide laughter and an escape from our own comedy of errors.
