| ROMEO & JULIET This most familiar of love stories was retold against a backdrop of 22 white-robed ghosts. These ghosts form a living chorus that commented not on the play itself, but on the journey of the audience. This retelling of R&J was performed with no set and no props. In our adaptation, Mercutio and Benvolio were portrayed by women, and the nurse by a man. The fights unfold as dance, and most of the scenic conciets are achieved through light. >>> CLICK TO READ REVIEWS |

With seven full-blown production numbers, celebrating the styles of the great American musical, this campy musical both mocks and celebrates the theater as a place where magic continues to thrive. >>> CLICK TO READ REVIEWS |
