Power, sex, ambition, greed... it's just another
day at the office.
From the authors of “Guys And Dolls” comes
one of the most delightfully irreverent musicals of
all time. A satire of big business and all it holds
sacred, “How To Succeed In Business Without Really
Trying” follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch,
who uses a little handbook called "How To Succeed
In Business Without Really Trying" to climb the
corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered
executive, tackling such familiar but potent dangers
as the aggressively compliant "company man,"
the boss' whiny, nepotistic nephew, the office party,
backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of
course, true love.

The magic and music of Christmas abound!
It's Christmas outside of Nashville and all little
Chelsea wants for Christmas is her daddy to come back
from the Middle East. Katherine wants the benefit show
to go off without a hitch and Carl just wants a chance
to get into the music business. Santa has his work cut
out for him this year! The magic of Christmas finds
its way into this suburb and helps their dreams come
true. Filled with new original music by Nashville's
Tom Paden and book by Birmingham's own Roy Hudson, this
heart warming musical is our gift to you.

It's an ice box laugh.
This long running Off Broadway absurdist comedy places
Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian cafe in
1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics
with his theory of relativity and the celebrated painter
set the art world afire with cubism. In his first comedy
for the stage, the popular actor and screenwriter plays
fast and loose with fact, fame and fortune as these two
geniuses muse on the century's achievements and prospects
as well as other fanciful topics with infectious dizziness.

Just a little touch of star quality.
Argentina’s controversial First Lady is the subject
of this dynamic musical masterpiece. As an illegitimate
fifteen-year-old, Eva escaped her dirt-poor existence
for the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Driven by ambition
and blessed with charisma, she
was a starlet at twenty-two, the President’s mistress
at twenty-four, First Lady at twenty-seven, and dead
at thirty-three. Eva Peron - saint to the working class,
reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military
– was destined to leave a fascinating political
legacy unique in the 20th century. Told through a compelling
score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin,
pop and jazz influences, EVITA creates an arresting
theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself.
