| | MONSTERSONGS
Book, Music and Lyrics by Rob Rokicki
Art by David O’Neill
Presented through an arrangement with Concord Theatricals
Monstersongs puts audiences in a synthesized world of classic horror characters, rock music, and live theatre. Following the journey of a teen who opens a portal into the psyches of often misunderstood creatures, Monstersongs flips the switch on the monster narrative, inviting audiences to explore the humanity that binds us all. Audiences journey through the worlds of each monster, hearing from their point of view. Different song styles support each monster – from Medusa belting out hard rock, to a bluegrass-flavored Troll under the bridge. Scary, silly and heartfelt, Monstersongs is unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
Directed by Chris Stonnell Choreography by Charlotte Duncan
Cast includes: Jordan McKenzie Deese, Ava Furr, Maggie Garrido, Evynn Rose Grignon, Eladio Hernandez Jr., Lohmar, Hilary Powell, Gray Rodgers, Bradley Smith, Kara Anne Smith, Matthew Smith, Chris Stonnell, and Ella Wood.

Aug. 17-27, 2023
"What do you do when you’re a Classics professor at one of the greatest universities in America and find a long-lost manuscript by Euripides that will make you famous throughout the world? You lose it, of course. And then you call on the Ancient Greek Gods of Comedy to get you out of the mess. For young professor Daphne Rain, the first surprise is that the gods show up. And the second surprise is that any two people – even if they are gods – can wreak so much havoc on one university. The Ivy League will never be the same as a pair of screwball deities encounters the carnal complexity of college coeds, campus capers, and conspicuous consumption."

"Unable to sleep, Elaine Wheeler paces the living room of her Manhattan townhouse, troubled by unsettling memories and vague fears. Her husband tries to comfort her, but when he steps away for a moment, Elaine screams as she sees (or believes she sees) the body of a dead man in the window across the way. The police find nothing except an empty chair. Elaine's terror grows as, shortly thereafter, she sees another body—this time a woman's—but by now the police are skeptical and pay no heed to her frantic pleas. Her husband, claiming that Elaine may be on the verge of a breakdown, calls in a psychiatrist, who agrees with his suggestion that Elaine should commit herself to a sanitarium for treatment. The plot moves quickly and grippingly as those involved—Elaine's old friend and house guest Blanche; the inquisitive and rather sinister man who lives next door; and the nosy German maid Helga—all contribute to the deepening suspense as the play draws towards its riveting and chilling climax."

by Andy Rassler
November 30-December 10, 2023
"The time of Christmas pageants and nativity performance is upon us! Narrowly avoiding a near-catastrophe at The Church of God, Holy One, the nativity performers have found themselves a new venue. All seems fine until it is discovered that the Little Miss Merry Christmas pageant has also been booked in the same space—at the same time. The adults dig in to find a solution, but their inflexible leaders and short-sightedness cause them to fall short. In the end, the children find a way to solve the problem and blend the two performances together for something akin to a Christmas miracle. This play will bring joy to your holiday hearts and warm your Christmas stockings."

Book, Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown
Feb. 15-25, 2024
"An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show."
