Anchor Woman

Synopsis:
Anchor Women is a tone poem of a play which fuses music, performance, and live video feed into a sweeping multimedia fantasy. A re-imagining of the lives of familiar figures: the financial crisis of a celebrity photographer, the identity crisis of a talk-show host, the motherhood of a stewardess, and the unexpected sexual awakening of a fame-crazed anchorwoman reporting for her first time in Baghdad. Anchor Women is a lyrical and idiosyncratic deification of the females at the forefront of the American liberal media.

Girl Of the Golden West, The

Synopsis:
Exploding onto the frontiers of uninhabited California, the only female in the entire Gold Rush town of Cloudy Mountain sets up her saloon. Mythologized in David Belascos grandiose 1911 novel and canonized as one of the great spaghetti westerns, a play-turned-novel-turned-Puccini-extravaganza is now a soulful new musical ode to the unexplored expanse of our nations forgotten periphery and the baffling potential of what might have been.

Green Knight, The

Synopsis:
This show is part of the Planet Connections theatre Festivity. This is their official description: He came to Camelot on Christmas Eve, the green knight, his green horse, his great green axe. A beautiful being, and terrifying, but he knew what justice was and perhaps justice is greater than the grail. A story of man and beast, and man and woman, newly adapted for the stage.

La Boheme (Spoken)

Synopsis:
La Boheme (Spoken) is a lyrical dialogue loyally adapted from Puccini's original libretto to his iconic opera La Boheme. the result is a larger-than-life play, about young artists, mostly broke, hyper, and always on the brink of inspiration and death. the musical roots (repetitions and rhyme) and the awkwardness of translation enable a language that is poetically charged.

Orange Person, The

Synopsis:
At last, the story of the Orange Person, told from the perspective of the people who actually experienced it - a celebration of existence, of difference, and of song. From within both sides of a duplex in Terlingua, a rural town in the south Texan desert, a family confronts a medical marvel: an orange baby is born. the wine and iced tea will flow at each performance. With an original book written by director Jeremy Bloom and Brian Rady who also plays the title role, the production also features original songs by Rady and Bloom and singer-songwriter Laura Dunn, all performed by a stellar and eccentric host of performers, vocalists and multi-instrumentalists.the main event is 75 minutes, but there will be live pre-show music acts, as well as a post-show jam session with the cast and the guest band du jour.

Upper Room, The

Synopsis:
The Upper Room is a new play with original music inspired by the back-to-the-land movement. Set on an island way off the north coast of Maine, the last participants of a once thriving commune meet the sea. Anxious and restless, the quorum gathers around the table in their upper room to confront the rising water and certain members curious ailments. A darkly humorous consideration of spirituality and the dangers of our changing environment combines with a live mixed score, antique scuba suits and an overhead projector to create a brand new music theater event.
