From "Someone to Watch Over Me" to "I will Survive." It's the journey of women, told through Top-40 music in the new musical production RESPECT: A Musical Journey of Women. From the codependence of "I will follow him" to the anger of "These Boots are Made for Walking," to the cynicism of "What's Love Got to Do with it," and finally to the strength of "Hero." Combining excerpts of 60 songs with women's own stories about finding dreams, lost love, relationship issues, entering the workforce, gaining independence, and more, this show is "exhilarating!" It's more than just a story worth telling, it's a must-see and must-hear. |

After a matriarch's death, the women in the family clean Grandma's attic and find love and old memories packed away, and in the process, hit tunes that trace the history of black women, from the trials of the 1930's through the Girl Groups of the 60s to the empowerment of the 90s." Songs include "Oh, Happy Day," "Mama Said," "I Will Survive," "Tyrone," "I am Not My Hair" and "A Woman's Worth." Sistas: the Musical, the story of African-American women through Top-40 music, is written by Dorothy Marcic and directed by Kenneth Ferrone. |

Terms of Dismemberment — A Dark Musical Comedy A desperate mother must choose between rummaging through garbage cans or selling her daughter's eggs. And then kidney, womb. Rather than crying "Sing out, Louise," she takes a more Sweeney Todd approach when a Tony Soprano guy threatens to break their legs. A dark comedy about the cost of love. |
What I Did For Love - The Musical is about love and relationships, looked at through nostalgic Top-40 hit love songs of the past four decades (the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s). Innovative in its unique use of lyrics to help tell the story, this six-character show takes off through its direction, choreography, and pure celebration of the wonderful music we know and love! |
