2015–2016 Season
New Works
IN DEVELOPMENT
TIMES SQUARE – A new musical based on the
cult classic 1980s film about two runaway girls in
pre-Disney Times Square. The creative team
brings together veteran singer-songwriter Jill
Sobule with her longtime collaborator Robin
Eaton and Tony-nominated writer Jim Lewis.
THE ABOMINABLES – A new musical by Steve
Cosson and Michael Friedman commissioned by
Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis, MN,
about the hilariously high-stakes world of youth
hockey.
AN UNTITLED WORK ABOUT DEATH, DYING
AND THE AFTERLIFE - A new work that
examines mortality as a starting point for an
illuminating exploration of how we live. Building
on years of investigation into death, dying and the
afterlife, we interviewed others and interrogated
ourselves in an attempt to address the big
questions of mortality, being and consciousness.
