Magdalene
This play is inspired by the Gospel’s writings of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and another Gospel, the fragmented GOSPEL OF MARY MAGDALENE. Mary Magdalene’s Gospel, discovered in 1896 in Cairo, Egypt, continues her story, describing a subsequent meeting with the Apostles.
The Catholic Church has consistently diminished the role of women throughout its history. Only recently has Mary Magdalene’s influence has been acknowledged and early claims trying to diminish her as a prostitute dismissed. This play attempts to look at the early, tumultuous history of the church through the eyes a major figure largely excluded from it.
Not Your Mother’s Goose!
NOT YOUR MOTHER’S GOOSE! is a high-energy, laugh-out-loud romp through Gooseville, where nursery rhymes come to life—and fall apart in the most delightful way! When Hickory the clock-mouse ditches his post, the enchanted Tickety-Tock Clock grinds to a halt, unleashing chaos: time unravels, day turns to night without warning, and rain refuses to fall. With the 100th Annual Peter Pumpkin Eater Harvest Festival at stake, it’s up to the ever-rhyming Mother Goose, the mischievous Itsy-Bitsy Spider, precocious Jack, contrary Mary, and a lovable cast of nursery rhyme characters to restore order. Full of clever wordplay, wild schemes, magical mishaps, and heartwarming lessons about friendship and community, NOT YOUR MOTHER’S GOOSE! is a fast-paced theatrical farce that turns childhood classics upside down—and right-side up again.
