We are pleased to announce the completion of our most recent project, Felix & Fanny, a chamber-style musical, based upon the life of the famous composer Felix Mendelssohn and his lesser-known but ultra-talented sister, Fanny-Mendelssohn-Hensel. Our creative team is searching for a regional theater to produce the premiere of Felix & Fanny. We will keep you informed as we move forward with this passionate story about a woman who struggles to maintain her creativity despite the conventions of society and the protestations of her famous family members.

Our other projects are also available for professional production at regional theaters in America or throughout Europe. A synopsis of each production is as follows:
Camille: A musical adaptation of the play (Camille) and novel (La Dame Aux Camélias) written by Alexandre Dumas fils in 1840, this is the incredible story of a woman who battles a debilitating illness, defies the limitations placed upon her by society, and ultimately wrestles with a woman’s most prized possession, her heart. This is a humanistic look at the innermost struggles of a woman; a woman who in her last months of life meets an extraordinary young man who offers her what she has never before experienced, love. Though society tears them apart, it is this love that gives her the courage to face death.
Bernice Bobs Her Hair: Set in 1920 amid the women’s movement and prohibition, this is a story about a young lady who learns that the simple act of cutting your hair can completely change your life. This new musical based on the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald has all the trappings of a modern-day revival: big dance numbers, cute chorus girls, crazy bootleggers, passionate suffragettes, sweet young lovers, and lots of laughs. With the snappy dialogue and colorful characters straight from the roaring 20’s living out there dreams set to the backdrop of our own outrageous historical events, we think this show has a little something for everyone.
Persuasion: Based upon the novel by Jane Austen, this is the story of romance set amidst the established British aristocracy and the raise of the nouveaux riches. Lovely Anne Elliot is persuaded by her family to reject the marriage proposal by her beloved Captain Wentworth. Both are deeply wounded by the breakup. Over the years, Anne remains steadfastly independent. When Wentworth returns from the Napoleonic Wars a rich man, is it possible to rekindle this once-forbidden love? Or will he be bewitched by the young and beautiful Louisa Musgrove? Will the handsome and aristocratic William Walter flatter his way into Anne’s heart? Can love prevail in this Georgian tale of seemingly star-crossed lovers?
Dracula; Sex, Blood & Rock & Roll: A new rock musical based on the novel by Bram Stoker. Set in present day Boston, this show is a hip cross between “Friends” and “Interview with a Vampire”. With it’s rockin’ score and elements of conflict and intrigue, this show is sure to keep our modern-day audiences on the edge of their seats. This is no ordinary tale of Gothic horror; this is Dracula with a feminist twist.
