No Evidence of Disease
When devoted GMO activist and control freak, Jillian, is diagnosed with cancer, the strain of treatment exposes the unexamined cracks in her marriage and career. Enter Lexi: an uninhibited, vibrant college student facing her own terminal diagnosis. Jillian’s deep connection with Lexi excites and unsettles her – but, is Lexi really a solution, or is there more to her than meets the eye?
Witten by Elizabeth Dement. This play reading will be presented on January 5 at 7:00pm and January 7 at 3:00pm.
Let the Good Times Roll: A New Orleans Gumbo
"Let the Good Times Roll: A New Orleans Gumbo," is a ride through the music, the spirit and the unquenchable thirst for joy and 'more life' that defines the city known as The Big Easy. Featuring songs of many eras, from Jelly Roll Morton and Bessie Smith to Fats Domino, Randy Newman, The Meters, Dr. John, Harry Connick, Jr. and The Neville Brothers, it traces the tale of a heartbroken young woman who discovers it is possible – in fact inevitable – to be reborn in the “city that care forgot.” With six performers representing the wide range of population of one of the most diverse cities in the world, "Let The Good Times Roll: A New Orleans Gumbo" takes audiences on a ride through history, hardship and ultimate triumph that is the hallmark of a place where even major catastrophes – from the 1927 flood to Hurricane Katrina – are somehow always overcome by faith in the future, and an unbridled enjoyment of the present.
Written and Conceived by Jack Viertel. This musical reading will be presented on January 12 at 7:00pm and January 14 at 3:00pm.
We Ain’t Ever Gonna Break Up: The Hymon & Parfunkel Story
This original two-man folk musical parodies the tropes of jukebox musicals like "Jersey Boys," "Buddy," "Mamma Mia," "Beautiful," "Ain’t Too Proud, Tina, Always…Patsy Cline," "The Cher Show"... and the dozen inevitable 'new' bio-musicals coming soon.
Saul Hymon & Bart Parfunkel star in their own musical, playing themselves, their own instruments, and the plethora of other characters they encounter on their path to superstardom-ish, resulting in a uniquely virtuosic musical farce about found family and the power of collaboration ...if they don’t break up first.
Music, Lyrics, and Book by Gregg Hammer and Louis Pardo. This musical workshop will be presented on January 19 at 7:00pm and January 21 at 3:00pm.
