Barry Champlain, Cleveland's controversial radio host
is on the air doing what he does best: insulting the
pathetic souls who call in the middle of the night to
sound off. Tomorrow, Barry's show is going into national
syndication and his producer is afraid that Barry will
say something that will offend the sponsors. This,
of course, makes Barry even more outrageous. Funny and
moving, off beat, outrageous and totally entrancing,
Talk Radio had a long run at New York's Public Theatre
starring the author.
"A compelling work that draws you straight into
the heart of its fringe world. It makes the call in
show a metaphor for America's lost souls." N.Y.
Newsday.
"Imagine Lenny Bruce at the height of his notoriety
becoming a popular talk show
host and you may begin to have an idea of the whiplash
intensity and black, hard edged cynicism of Talk Radio."
N.Y. Times.
Produced by Special Arrangement Samuel French.

Magic City closes its third season with the show that
declares “we’ve got magic to do!”
Once upon a time, the young prince Pippin longed to
discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment.
He sought it in the glories of the battlefield, the
temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political
power. In the end, he found it in the simple pleasures
of home and family.
This hip, tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic fairy tale
captivated Broadway audiences and continues to appeal
to the young at heart everywhere. The energetic pop-influenced
score by three-time Oscar®-winning composer/lyricist
Stephen Schwartz bursts with one show-stopping number
after another, from soaring ballads to infectious dance
numbers.
Featuring a strong ensemble cast and a show-stealing
song-and-dance narrator, “Pippin” takes
audiences on a journey to discover themselves and what
they want/need from life. The show’s original
Director/Choreographer Bob Fosse created a splashy,
dance-driven spectacle, which included some of the most
brilliant staging in Broadway history, and MCAT’s
Carl Dean has some wonderful tricks up his sleeve for
their incarnation of one of his all time favorite shows.
Produced by Special Arrangement with Music Theatre International
