Big Red Sun

Synopsis:
Big Red Sun is the story of a family fractured by the Second World War. A son searches for his Father through the bewildering landscape of post-war America, where the simple melodies of Kern and Berlin have been replaced by the dizzying energy of jazz and the budding of rock-and-roll.

Sing Me a Happy Song

Synopsis:
Sing Me a Happy Song is a contemporary musical revue by two of Broadway's newest voices about finding heart in these material times. With songs about modern-day relationships, searching for yourself on the internet, striving to have everything but never having enough, love, family and your gay best friend, this five-character show is at once comic and poignant, smart and silly, emotional and timely.

Water, The

Synopsis:
When the residents of a small Missouri town confront the storm of the century, rain means something more than water, and a down-home Diner becomes much more than a place to eat. With backwater wisdom and a compelling homespun score, this inspired new musical floods a tight-knit community with the triumphs and tragedies of everyday life, lived at a price and loved with a passion.
