The Last Yiddish Speaker
Sarah and her father, Paul, have fled NYC and are hiding in plain sight as Mary and Paul Tate in upstate, NY. It’s eight years after the successful January 6th insurrection and anyone who isn’t White and Christian has fled the country or been “disappeared.”
They’ve almost made it through their first year when, late one night, an ancient, Yiddish-speaking woman is deposited on their doorstep with a note, “It’s your turn to hide her. Good luck.” They must grapple with whether to protect her or turn her in and save themselves.
High Noon
Set in the New Mexico Territory in 1875, HIGH NOON unfolds in real time on the wedding day of Marshal Will Kane and Quaker pacifist Amy Fowler.

As the clock ticks toward noon, Kane desperately seeks help from the townspeople he’s protected for seventeen years, but one by one they abandon him. Torn between duty and his new wife’s beliefs, Kane must face his reckoning alone.
Maybe You Could Love Me
How many sleepovers and shared hijab pins does it take to make you best friends? For Sajida and Noor, the number was forgotten years ago. However, as high school graduation looms, they must decide if their love for each other is the key to becoming who they were meant to be, or if it will cause everything to unravel.
Love Somebody Now
With a score from award-winning composer Andrew Lippa (THE ADDAMS FAMILY, BIG FISH), LOVE SOMEBODY NOW features original songs combined with songs from eight of his most beloved shows woven into a new, original, sung-through, dialogue-free, dramatically staged story by Nathan Brewer and Matthew Webster.
The musical follows two single women who head out to a restaurant and meet their respective partners. Throughout the course of the show, those new couples each have a child, those children fall in love with each other and are eventually married. The empty nesters are left to figure out the third chapter of their lives—one couple is better off together, and the other is better off apart.
With a cast of six (4 women, 2 men) and brand-new arrangements and orchestrations for 5 musicians, the show captures the full arc of love over many years—not just the initial attraction, but the risk and commitment involved towards moving forward each day with hope and belief.
Never Can Say Goodbye
NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE: The ’70s Beehive Musical is the electrifying new musical in the spirit of the beloved BEEHIVE: The ’60s Musical. Produced by TRW Production, this dynamic new installment captures the empowering spirit, cultural revolution, and bold style of the 1970s, driven by a soundtrack of iconic hits made famous by artists like Gloria Gaynor, Heart, and Linda Ronstadt. From heartfelt ballads to glittering disco anthems, the show is a high-energy tribute to sisterhood, self-expression, and the unforgettable music of a transformative decade.
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 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 of a major figure largely excluded from it.
