(The Don Giovanni Radio Hour)

Libretto by Matt Boresi
Directed by Jenny Lord
TICKETS ON SALE SEPTEMBER 1
 
The golden age of Radio is brought to vivid and colorful life in this sharp and jazzy new musical. "DGRH" follows the exploits of Dean Newhouse, the womanizing host of "The Liberty Cigarrettes Radio Hour," a once-popular variety show coping with the rise of TV in the 1950s.  Dean has double-crossed everyone on his show: the tragic soap queen, the "gee-whiz" teen couple, the hard-boiled detective, and of course his wise-cracking sidekick.  As Dean struggles to keep his show on the air (and his cast from killing him), we're treated to a wildly eclectic score that pays tribute to just about EVERY style of popular music from the 50s, from Sinatra to Jerry Lee Lewis to Sonny Rollins.  Only fitting for a show based on Mozart's controversial opera Don Giovanni, which made Wolfgang himself notorious for his schizophrenic "genre-hopping!"

Jonah Bell

Book by Marcus Gardley
Music written and performed by Ollabelle

Israel, Lousiana. Population 613. The year is 1942. Jonah Bell, small-town prophet and struggling fisherman, lives a humble life with his God-fearing townspeople, who spend their days lusting for vengeance against the corrupt city of Nineveh. When Jonah gets the sign they've been waiting for, they send him to seek their revenge...but does God really want justice, or is it something else that only Jonah can see? Featuring the music of critically acclaimed roots-rockers Ollabelle, and the words of award-winning playwright Marcus Gardley, this innovative spin on the Bible's most moving and timeless story is sure to stir your heart and your mind.

Ghostsongs

Music written and performed by Lee Feldman, Carol Lipnik and Chris Moore
Book by David Nugent
Concept by Russell M. Kaplan

Join us as three of New York's best songwriters get together to share their spooky side. Piano-pop savant Lee Feldman, soulful carnival-barker Carol Lipnik, and indie-rock luminary Chris Moore bring us three tales of voices from the beyond that will stir your heart and your imagination.  From mystical lands where giants dwell, to a desolate Mexican border town, to the tunnels of the New York City subway, you'll see stories filled with mystery, horror and humor...all to the tune of three truly unique voices from New York's pop underground.
