About The Productions

PLAID TIDINGS: A SPECIAL HOLIDAY EDITION OF FOREVER PLAID
They’re back! Forever Plaid’s Jinx, Frankie, Smudge and Sparky are again sent to Earth, this time to put a little harmony into a discordant world by staging a nostalgic holiday extravaganza. A spectacular and fun show for the whole family, Plaid Tidings is a beloved Off-Broadway musical that has been performed internationally since its 1990 debut. It combines favorite tunes from the ’50s and ’60s with traditional holiday songs and plenty of classic and comical references to the era and its sounds!

ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS
One man, two jobs—how hard could it be? Down on his luck and permanently hungry, Francis finds himself employed by two bosses as an engagement party goes horribly awry. As confusion reaches a fever pitch, bumbling Francis takes advantage of the chaos with an ambitious plan to line his pockets. Set in 1963 in Brighton and delightfully underscored by a live skiffle band, this hilarious play transforms Goldoni’s 18th-century classic Servant of Two Masters into a fast-paced, satirical, door-slamming farce.

BORDERLINE
Borderline is a new musical dramedy about larger-than-life aspiring artist Anna. In her mid-20s and single, she’s a college dropout who can’t seem to hold down a job, even as a barista. Every attempt at a new job or romantic relationship results in disaster. Will she find the will to invest in her own future, embrace her circumstances and have the life of connection and expression she’s been longing for? Anna’s story explores the highs and lows, heartache and absurdity, of living on the borderline. 

This production will be rehearsing in New York City from Mar 4 - Apr 1, 2023. Housing and travel is provided for this rehearsal period.

This production has a possible extension May 1 - 7, 2002.
