| Abyssinia Jackson is born during a tornado in Stillwater, Oklahoma at the turn of the last century. Blessed with a gift of song and a voice that thrills and delights the entire community, Abby is brought up in the bosom of the church and under the watchful eye of Mother Vera, a folk-healer. Like Job, Abby is fated to undergo a series of trials that all but shatter her faith. Her journey from despair to wisdom is a timeless, as well as timely, parable that cuts across color lines and religious beliefs. | |||||

| JOLSON: A NEW VAUDEVILLE presents the life and times of Al Jolson in vaudeville format, using songs that were made famous by or associated with him. From skits and comic routines to silent movies and minstrel shows, the show illustrates Jolie's connection to his times--his immigrant beginnings and rise to super-stardom, his personal failings and private pain and his ultimate fade into caricature. It gives insight into the life of a man who grew up in vaudeville, lived it, eclipsed it, and was more than partly responsible for its demise. JOLSON: A NEW VAUDEVILLE establishes both a context and a modern relevance for a man who was surprisingly far-sighted and innovative-a man who was once considered "The World's Greatest Entertainer," even by his fiercest show business rivals. | |||||

| KEAS ARK is an original book musical based on the true story of Kea Tawana, an indigent Asian-American woman, who, through her own vision and industry, fashioned a huge, twenty-ton ark from the debris of an inner-city wasteland. Conceived by Kea as a vehicle of independence from a lifetime of hardship, the ark becomes a source of controversy in the community, hailed as a joyful symbol of self-determination and grassroots/outsider art, damned as an eyesore by the town elders. Her cause rallies international support but, ultimately, she loses the battle to the city inspectors and their bulldozers. How Kea ultimately achieves her dream and revitalizes a dying community has the makings of a contemporary myth of beauty and power for our fractured times. | |||||
