OUR SHOWS
THE VIOLET HOUR
If you knew the future, would you try to change it?
The story is set on April 1, 1919, when John Pace Seavering, a young publisher, comes to possess a machine that inexplicably begins printing pages from books. Books from the future.
Page by page, John pieces together a vision of what the next century has in store for himself, his friends, and the world at large.
And once he decides he wants to change the future, the clock is ticking.
STUDIO CAST RECORDING
The 28-track album stars Santino Fontana, Erika Henningsen, Jeremy Jordan, Solea Pfeiffer, and Brandon Uranowitz. The Violet Hour features music supervision by Andy Einhorn and orchestrations by Tony and Grammy Award-winner Charlie Rosen.
Special thanks to The New Musicals Lab at The Ferguson Center for the Arts
RADIOACTIVE
Radioactive is the story of Marie and Pierre Curie, the two revolutionary scientists who discovered radium, the most mysterious element on the Periodic Table.
They become an inseparable team and, as they uncover their element, they encounter a glowing force that is beautiful and frightening, that has the power to heal and the power to kill.
And they must decide what to do with it.
