Rent
Book and Music by Jonathan Larson
Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Rent
follows a year in the life of a group of friends
struggling to make it in the big city. They
include Mark, a filmmaker and the narrator of
the story; his former girlfriend, Maureen, a
performance artist; Maureen's lover, Joanne, a
public interest lawyer; Mark's roommate Roger, a
musician; Mimi, an exotic dancer, with whom
Roger falls in love; Tom Collins, a computer
genius; Collins' lover, Angel, a street musician
and drag queen; and Benny, a former member of
the group who, after marrying into a wealthy
family, has become their landlord. How these
young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves,
and conflicts provides the narrative thread to
this groundbreaking musical.

Moon Over
Buffalo
by
Ken Ludwig
Charlotte and George Hay, an acting couple not
exactly the Lunts are on tour in Buffalo in 1953
with a repertory consisting of Cyrano de Bergerac
"revised, one nostril version" and Noel Coward's
Private Lives. This backstage farce by the author of
Lend Me a Tenor brought Carol Burnett back to
Broadway co-starring with Philip Bosco as her
megalomaniac, drunken husband and leading man. Fate
has given these thespians one more shot at starring
roles in The Scarlet Pimpernel epic, and director
Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch
their matinee performance. Will Charlotte appear or
run off with their agent? Will George be sober
enough to emote? Will Capra see Cyrano, Private
Lives or a disturbing mixture of the two? Hilarious
misunderstandings pile on madcap misadventures in
this valentine to Theater Hams everywhere.

Cabaret
Book by Joe Masteroff
Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
The scene is a night club in Berlin, as the
1920's are drawing to a close. The Master of
Ceremonies welcomes the audience to the show and
assures them that, whatever their troubles, they
will forget them at the Cabaret. His songs
provide wry commentary throughout the show. On
the train to Berlin we find Cliff, a young
American writer, and Ernst, a German who
surprises Cliff by putting his briefcase among
Cliff's luggage at the German border. History is
in the process of being made. Musical numbers
include It Couldn't Please Me More, Willkommen,
Cabaret, Don't Tell Mama and Two Ladies. We find
Cliff on the train again, now leaving Berlin
alone. He writes about Sally and the people of
Berlin leading up to the Third Reich. It has
been a tumultuous and heartbreaking era.

Zombie Prom
Music by Dana P. Rowe
Book and Lyrics by John Dempsey
Based on a story by John Dempsey & Hugh Murphy
This "girl loves ghoul, rock-and-roll, Off Broadway
musical" is set in the atomic 1950s at Enrico Fermi
High, where the law is laid down by a zany,
tyrannical principal. Pretty senior Toffee has
fallen for the class bad boy. Family pressure forces
her to end the romance, and he charges off on his
motorcycle to the nuclear power plant. He returns
undead, glowing, and determined to reclaim Toffee's heart. He
still wants to graduate, but most of all he wants to
take Toffee to the prom. The principal orders him to
drop dead while a scandal reporter seizes on him as
the freak du jour. History comes to his rescue while
a tuneful selection of original songs in the style
of 50s hits keeps the action rocking across the
stage.

How to
Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Book
by Abe Burrows and Jack Weinstock
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser
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.
