When Molly Egan, a feisty, salt-tongued activist nun appears before Henry Pulasky, a cantankerous conservative judge, for picketing a local nuclear arms research facility, their differences seem insurmountable. But as Molly is hauled back repeatedly into his court, Gibson reveals with humor and pathos the way their rocky personal stories collide. “…an exhilarating piece of theatre.” —Newsday

Rage! Sex! Betrayal! Bloody murder! In the heat of late summer 1892, Andrew Borden and his wife are found murdered in their house. The main suspect? Andrew’s youngest daughter from a previous marriage: Lizzie Borden. This all-woman musical sets American mythology to a searing rock score – complete with riffs on the historical record – to explore the heady and heated days leading up to the historical murder and Lizzie’s controversial acquittal of all charges.

From Don Zolidis – author of Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon

The aging king of a Magical Kingdom (England) decides to split his empire between his three daughters, Cinderella, Belle and the Snow Queen (who in no way resembles a copyrighted character), terrible tragedy ensues. Terrible, hilarious tragedy. Combining the gut-wrenching plot twists of Game of Thrones and the soul-numbing despair of Shakespearean tragedy, this adaptation of King Lear will leave you dying with laughter as the body count mounts. When you play the Game of Tiaras, you win or you die.
