Cassie is 17, a talented dancer, who has just landed the wily role of the Artful Dodger in the high school production of "Oliver!"

On the brink of growing up, Jessie is determined to make sense of a new and different place with the help of her own imaginary friend Airy. the Love Note allows us to glimpse into a world of tweens where adults dare not meddle. Only the observant and unassuming Lunch Lady is on hand to occasionally "clean up the mess". the Love Note is a soaring new musical that follows Jessie as she and Airy struggle to make sense of a new world where there are weird and wacky "Bookworms", a cute boy named Peter, and the bullies run the school and the lunch period. Although Jessie is not sure what to do when the head bully Brittany descends upon her and tricks her out of her delicious lunch, she still finds strength in the tiny pink love note that her mother tucks into her lunch bag each day. Bolstered by her ever- growing hunger, and daily advice from her colorful and jovial friend Airy, Jessie finally decides to take lunch preparation into her own hands.

Synopsis:
On her 40th birthday, Samantha wakes up to some shocking visitors and has to face the demons of middle age in what unfolds as a hilarious romp of a day. Determined to strike out on an adventure and overhaul her life, Samantha must deflect her mother's warnings amid her mid-life soul searching, and battle a troupe of monsters: Apathy, Fear and Body. Full panic sets in as the monsters take Samantha on a wild ride through her psyche. then a youthful Birthday Singer appears unannounced, challenging Samantha to banish her demons and live out her dreams. Charged with energetic music and side-splitting lyrics, MONSTERS is a story that captures the universal humor, insight and agony spurred by life's milestones. In the end, MONSTERS asks: Have you faced your demons? We can't necessarily destroy them, but we can laugh at them. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, My giant follows me wherever I go. Indeed.
