Synopsis: An edgy musical comedy for 8 actors in 16 roles. Nobody knew where the horse, Potential, had come from. Ultimately, of course, all that matters is whether or not you're fast, and he was fast. Fast enough to come out of nowhere to win the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. But by the time he arrived at the Belmont Stakes, he didn't really care about racing anymore. Something happened to him at the Derby, and it turned Potential into a racehorse with a mission. When the bell rang and the gate crashed open, eight elegant, powerful thoroughbreds, bred and trained to do nothing but race their guts out against each other, just stood there. And when the terrified riders at last dismounted and fled; when the thoroughbreds paraded in unison out of the gate, faced the stands and began to sing. . .? Let's just say that the crowd was transported. | ||||

Synopsis: Awarded 'Best New Play 2002' by the Seattle Times, Vera Wilde is the explosive new musical about Oscar Wilde and Vera Zasulich, a young Russian idealist who dreams of a better world. Infuriated by the hypocrisy of the legal system, Vera shoots and injures the Governor General of St. Petersburg in order to secure a trial by jury. Himself on trial of "gross indecency," Oscar reads of Vera's trial and is inspired to write his first play, Vera or the Nihilists. Vera Wilde dovetails the lives of two historical figures in a story that blends fact and fiction together with great songs, outrageous wit, passion, politics, feather boas and two trials that shocked the world. | ||||
