Brothers Grimm and a Showgirl, The

Synopsis:
This wildly imaginative new family musical features spoofs and goofs of all your favorite fairy tales. Meet Jacob, Wilhelm and George-The Brothers Grimm themselves-all set to present their best-known stories. But when they forget their book of fairy tales, the fun really starts. Add a sequined and feathered Showgirl to help the guys, and you've got a great big comedy hit! Featuring exciting versions of "Little Red Riding Hood," "Snow White," "Rapunzel," and "Sleeping Beauty," the fun leads to a delightfully nonsensical and audience-inspired story called "Das Rumpleshperlinschpee."

Glam Kitty Squad

Synopsis:
Mild-mannered kitties by day; crime-fighting cats by night. This family-friendly pop musical spoofs the likes of Charlie's Angels, Batman, and other crime-stopping classics! Set in a loony make-believe world, each act features a different adventure for our glamorous hero trio: act one finds our colorful kitties seeking out a treasured trinket that's mysteriously gone missing; act two lands our fetching felines in a side-splitting canary caper, complete with flying feathers. This new musical is truly a laugh riot for all audiences.

Glitz: The Little Miss Christmas Pageant Musical

Synopsis:
In the true spirit of Christmas, get a behind the scenes look at the backstabbing mothers and fiercely competitive daughters in the "Little Miss Christmas Pageant," an annual competition where ten girls (and their outrageous stage moms) compete for the coveted Christmas crown. Sequins, shiny shoes, and a can of hairspray aren't all it takes to win this battle. These diva daughters and pushy moms are armed with sheer grit and a thirst for victory. However, when the value of truth, honesty, and love is learned, Christmas spirit becomes the true winner in this heartwarming new holiday classic.

Get ready for a wildly comic ride as three lovely ladies are cursed by a soggy old sea hag to live as pirates on a tropical isle. When their tiny ship, the Michele Lee, arrives on the island, the beauties discover three handsome princes who have fallen under a similar curse! All six are in search of a magical unicorn who can provide them with a potion that could set everything right again. Their antics, foibles, and foolery provide for a host of swashbuckling songs and situations, blunders, plunders, and happy endings. The story spills from the stage into the aisles, allowing for clever interactions with the audience in the true spirit of the panto. Yo ho!

Teen Santa

Synopsis:
Teen Santa is a fast-paced and wildly inventive new holiday musical, chronicling the life of seventeen-year-old Chris, who discovers that his super-hero powers of faith, hope and charity often turn him into a teenage Santa Claus! Set in Chris' garage with a live onstage band, the show cleverly uses props and clutter from the garage to create the present, the past, and several comic book-style fantasy sequences. This is the perfect holiday show for a highly creative production team, and your teen cast members will love the theatrical, punk rock-flavored score. Teen Santa is a uniquely entertaining musical that will prove to one and all that belief in the spirit of Christmas can change the world!
