New Life

An Original Musical

Book, Music, and Lyrics by James McGowan

This jazz-rock-blues musical set in 2010 is a story about a woman rebuilding herself and her family after her abusive husband dies. Her family of three adult kids—Alexandra (Alex), oldest; Robert (Robbie), middle child; Stephanie (Steph), youngest—and her minister each bring lots of baggage on this trip.

The story tackles topics of intimate-partner abuse, child abuse, family dysfunction, alcoholism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, cultural differences between rural and urban life, tradition vs. change, personal growth, spiritual faith, and the Easter resurrection analogy.

Evil Dead: The Musical

Book and Lyrics by George Reinblatt | Music by Frank Cipolla, Christopher Bond, Melissa Morris, George Reinblatt | Music Supervision by Frank Cipolla | Additional Lyrics by Christopher Bond

Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It’s all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon-killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons tell bad jokes… and all to music.  The songs in the show are completely off the wall as well. Titles like “All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Kandarian Demons” and “What the F**k was That?” have had audiences rolling in their seats, and screaming for more and more blood.

A Christmas Carol

A Play with Carols

By Charles Dickens | Adapted for the Stage by Rebecca Russell | Music Arranged by Mark Allen

Originally written by Charles Dickens, the beloved story follows the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, a man whose bitterness and greed have left little room in his heart for kindness or celebration. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, who warns him that he must change his ways. Over the course of the night, three spirits (the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come) guide Scrooge on a journey through memories, present-day joys and struggles, and a chilling glimpse of the future that awaits if he does not change. Through these encounters, Scrooge discovers the true meaning of generosity, compassion, and the spirit of Christmas.
