Synopsis: | Fever, a new play by Dave McCracken, is set on a scorching desert landscape. Under a relentless sun, two great warriors and mortal enemies, Atrox and Bonitas, have momentarily retired to their corners. Atrox enlists a handsome young soldier to his cause, the seduction and capture of Bonitas. Atrox is the amoral Mack Daddy of Evil, the Simon Cowell of pre-history, with an unquenchable thirst for power. Destruction and subjugation are his calling cards. The valiant and virtuous Bonitas has received a serious wound and hides away in a cave to regain his strength. His courage and skill have managed to keep Atrox at bay but his decency has left him vulnerable. Bonitas has lively history as well; including being able to list Hercules (yes, that Hercules) as one of his exes. The dewy young stud Virtus, in the service of Atrox, learns that the struggle into which he has been drawn is older, deeper, and more complicated than he ever could have imagined. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Shakespeare | |||||
Synopsis: | Macbeth In The Other Room, a new drama set in Macbeth's bedroom, features an original adaptation of the Shakespearean text where the audience voyeuristically peers through the curtains and behind closed doors to experience the true underpinnings of what drives Macbeth on and to see how Lady Macbeth controls this uncontrollable man. Deception, lies, passions, fears, longing and a love triangle between Banquo and the murderous couple is played out in the shadow of a monstrous plot to kill the King and seize his crown. What price will be paid for releasing blinding aspirations and uncontrollable desires? | |||||

Genre: | musical comedy | |||||
| Parts: | Male | 5 | Female | 4 | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Peep Show Male, a new musical comedy set in a gay New York City go-go boy bar, features an original book by Dave McCracken and musical gems mined from the heyday of Vaudeville and Burlesque. The bar is filled with a crazy collection of regulars that really let loose, derisively ripping into each other and anyone else who crosses their neon doorway, including a young shy guy just looking for a drink and a lost newlywed couple from Minnesota. The Act 1 dance highlight is 'The Senator Craig Stomp', an homage to the illustrious Senator from Idaho who put a whole new spin on 'potty training'. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want to go in the back with a go-go boy! Wanna watch?" | |||||
