35mm

35mm
they say a picture is worth 1,000 words, but what about a song? Can one picture inspire a song? How about fifteen photos? In 35mm a series of photographs by acclaimed photographer Matthew Murphy inspires a series of different and unique musical moments frozen in time; a glimmer of a life unfolding, a glimpse of something happening, a ground-breaking new concept in musical theatre. . .

Jasper In Deadland

Jasper In Deadland
Jasper is lost in the living world. When youre failing classes, kicked off the swim team, and your family is on the skids, life can feel like its going to hell. Yet, in all the disappointment, Jasper has his best friend, Agnes. In one night of teenage passion, Jasper and Agnes consummate a years-long friendship. But in the morning Agnes is gone, telling Jasper to meet her at their cliff. When he arrives theres no sign of his best friend, only a swirling vortex to another world in the water below. Jasper dives into Deadland.

Out of My Head, A Musical Revue

Synopsis:
Out Of My Head is a compelling new musical from Ryan Scott Oliver, recipient of the American Theatre Wing's Jonathan Larson Grant and the prestigious Richard Rodgers Award for Musical Theatre. Five 20-something strangers bare their hearts and souls as they journey through their lives, loves, and losses during a series of free group therapy sessions. From the moment of their breakdowns to their ultimate breakthroughs, the smart and emotional interplay of these quirky characters brings them all the self-discovery to set aside their insecurities and face the world anew-a little less frightened and a little more brave than before. This fresh and contemporary chamber musical celebrates the amazing strength of the human spirit.
