Currently enjoying a new life in London's West End and headed to Broadway once again Cats truly does prove that it is Now and Forever. Based on the poetry of T.S.

VIRGINS
a musical threesome

Not just one musical, Virgins is three one-act musicals that will be sure to make you laugh. In THE VIRGIN WARS we meet socially conscious teen Tracy who, along with her four friends, travels the county dispersing information about celibacy, abstinence and how to avoid the dreaded STD. In THE GIRL ON THE SCREEN a female journalist is asked to write an article about the women who work on internet porn sites. What she finds is not only shocking, but hilarious. In the final act, JUMPIN' THE Q is an American Idol style reality show in which the contestants are seeking the ultimate prize, a green card.
AMERICAN IDIOT

***WESTERN CANADIAN PREMIERE***
A critical smash on Broadway and in London, the two-time Tony Award winning musical tells the story of three lifelong friends, forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia. Conceived by Grammy winners Green Day, it's more than just a jukebox musical; it's the Jesus Christ Superstar of this generation. The friends' quest for true meaning in a post 9/11 world leads them on an exhilarating theatrical journey.
HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL
Music, Lyrics and Book by Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy
July/August, 2016
***CANADIAN PREMIERE***
Westerberg High is ruled by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing trio: Heather, Heather and Heather, the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. When misfit Veronica Sawyer rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, the dark and sexy stranger J.D., all hell breaks loose. When kids start dying no one will ever be the same. This hilarious musical, based on the classic 1989 film, is co-written by the writer of LEGALLY BLONDE and BAT BOY.
