How can you march to the beat of your own drummer when you're still writing the song? Everyone's search for one's authentic self is at the heart of Wonderland: Alice's Rock & Roll Adventure. Carroll's beloved, poetic tale of self-actualization is brought to life by a cast of actors/musicians who create an eclectic, live rock soundtrack as 7-1/2-year-old Alice searches for her own inner musical voice. Along the way, Alice faces challenges and fears, but she meets the ultimate test in the form of the Jabberwocky, an insidious monster made up of the dark thoughts and self-doubt that lurks inside us all. In learning to believe in the impossible, Alice learns to believe in herself. Throughout her journey, the actors surround Alice in a live musical tapestry ranging from classic rock to punk to ska and even a little bit of Bollywood. Rock concert meets live theatre as Alice reflects the vulnerabilities of all kids and then confidently finds her own inner voice.

Sparkling. . .glorious. . .a winner! (Channel 5/Fox News, NY) This critically acclaimed musical review consists of 22 musical scenes dealing with the very special relationship between people and their pets. It's clever, user-friendly and suits audiences of all ages. Cats, dogs, mice, turtles, iguanas, parakeets and other species are having the times of their lives. The scenes range from a dog hungrily eyeing his owner's bagel in "There's a Bagel on the Piano" to the hilarious, harried Rumanian dog walker in "I Walk Ze Dogs" to the lonely Argentinian iguana pining for his mate in "Night of the Iguana." There is even a rock and roll number called "First Cat" and a celebratory musical piece devoted to smaller animals called "What About Us!" We share poignant and sensitive moments in "Dear Max" as a high school girl sings about going away to college and leaving her dog, and in "If You Can Stay" as we deal with the loss of a pet. The proud, stray cat sings a blues number "Don't Worry 'Bout Me" and there's a tribute to animal heroes, using true stories of animals that have saved human lives, in "All in a Day's Work." "A real charmer." (New York Newsday) "It touches the heart. . .clever, fast-paced, urbane, and totally charming." (The Bergen Record, NJ) "Unique. . .sophisticated. . .and lots of fun." (New York Law Journal) "Hilarious. . .leave[s] the audience cheering at intermission." (This Week on Stage)

How to Make a Musical is a tuneful, dazzling farce that shows us how musicals can change the everyday mundane to magical moments! The Professor, our musical guide, is going to teach "How to Make a Musical." He picks Chris, a "random" student, out of the audience and takes him through a day at his school, showing him each scene both as it would be in real life and how it would be played in a musical. Chris arrives at school and bumps into Jessica. Their dialogue is nothing unusual, but, when repeated in song ("Why Didn't I See You Before?"), phrases like "Whatcha do last night?" become fraught with subtext. Catholic Chris is in love with Jewish Jessica, whose parents can't forgive him for losing control of his car and wrecking her brother's bar mitzvah. Jessica is drawn to Chris' nemesis, Bruno, the school quarterback. When the Professor says it is time for the "I want" number, Chris bursts into "What I Want Is the Girl," vowing to win Jessica against all odds. The Professor introduces our "Character Couple": Monica, the school reporter, and Julian, the science nerd. They detest each other, so, of course, they are destined to end up together ("Fall in Love"). Next, we see all five students in class with the Professor. The subject, Great Lovers Through History, is explored in that musical comedy staple, the list song ("Great Lovers Score"). Bruno declares he will get Jessica, score the touchdown and become a Jew to please her parents& all today after school! Chris is heartbroken, but the Professor explains that conflict is necessary in a musical. Bruno is on the football field, annihilating the competition; Jessica is cheerleading, and Chris is in the bleachers with Julian and Monica ("The Big Game"). Monica notices Bruno has a rabbi waiting in the end zone so that Bruno can become a Jew as soon as he scores the winning point. Unbeknownst to Chris, Bruno had sabotaged Chris' brake cables the day of the bar mitzvah. This blatant plot device is explained by the Professor in a lecture onwhat else?plot devices. Chris exposes Bruno, accidentally scores the touchdown himself, wins Jessica, and gains her parents' approval. An ordinary-into-extraordinary day is yours in this fun, irreverent musical.
