Something Rotten!
Music and Lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick
“Something Rotten! is a hysterical, joyous celebration of everything you love about Broadway.”
Stageagent.com
Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, Something Rotten. Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick, and successful screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, Something Rotten was lauded by audience members and critics alike, receiving several Best Musical nominations and hailed by Time Out New York as “the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years”.
Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.

Mother of the Maid
Written by
Jane Anderson
The story of Joan of Arc’s mother, a sensible, hard-working, God-fearing peasant woman whose faith is upended as she deals with the baffling journey of her odd and extraordinary daughter.
This riveting play is an epic tale told through an unexpected and remarkable perspective. It’s hard to be a mother in the 15th century.
Produced by Elaine Leahy
Directed by Hannah Schuurman
