Genre & Style:
Dark Comedy, Alt-Rock-Pop Musical, Musical Thriller

Music Assistant
Xander Browne
Genre & Style:
Pop, Soul, R&B
Synopsis
Dear Ex is all about the big break up. In Dear Ex, the protagonist Be writes letters to her ex as she stumbles through the stages of breakup grief. This Black, queer falling-out-of-love story comes to life through the pop and soul music of musician Be Steadwell.

Helsinki
Director
Marshall Pailet
Music Director
Andrea Grody
Music Assistant
Mikayla Coxe
Genre & Style:
Dark Romantic Comedy
Synopsis
A down-on-her-luck waitress and down-on-his-luck factory worker spark a shy love affair that’s put to the ultimate test by the economically (and emotionally!) depressed landscape of 1990s Finland. Helsinki is an absurdly deadpan, achingly romantic dark comedy that asks if life’s losers can find (and keep!) the love they deserve.
In Clay
Director
Ellie Heyman
Music Director
Jacob Yates
Directing Assistant
Obed De la Cruz
Genre & Style:
Gypsy-jazz one-woman musical
Synopsis
Based on a true story, In Clay is a one-woman musical told from a Parisian apartment in 1938. Ceramist Marie Cazin awaits her estranged childhood friend, and now celebrated artist, Henrietta Tirman. Her imminent arrival pushes Marie to reflect on the joys and sorrows of a life devoted to making art.
Lewis Loves Clark
Director
Ryan Dobrin
Music Director
Simone Allen
Script Assistant
Christian Jimenez
Genre & Style:
Comedy, Historical, Drama
Synopsis
Lewis Loves Clark is a funny, fast-paced epic about the famous Corps of Discovery expedition. Combining bluegrass, folk and pop, this tragicomedy follows Meriwether Lewis (a depressed closeted alcoholic), William Clark (just breathtakingly oblivious), Sacagawea (permanently exasperated), and York (would rather be birdwatching) as they grapple with the not-so-great unknown.
LIGHTHOUSE
Director
Sarah Rasmussen
Music Director
Remy Kurs
Directing Assistant
Kathryn Carter
Genre & Style:
Magical Realism, Pop-Country
Synopsis
With graduation in the rearview mirror, Bus is desperate to run away from her Minnesota hometown and everyone in it. The only problem? She can’t outrun herself. LIGHTHOUSE is a sweeping pop-country musical that celebrates the idea that maybe, just maybe every version of yourself is worth being.
Medusa
Director
Arpita Mukherjee
Music Director
Anessa Marie Scolpini
Directing Assistant
JuJu Jaworski
Genre & Style:
Folk
Synopsis
When you hear the name Medusa, what is the first thought that springs to mind? Mortal or Monster? Victim or Villain? Beguiler or Betrayed? This folk inspired, musical retelling of the ancient Greek myth, reclaims the narrative and gives Medusa the space to be the heroine of her own story.
Proud Marys
Director
May Adrales
Music Director
Steven Cuevas
Directing Assistant
DV Cortez
Genre & Style:
Pop/Acoustic/Latin Pop, with traditional Kundiman/Filipino Rondalla in the orchestrations
