November by David Mamet

David Mamet's Oval Office satire, depicts one day in the life of a beleaguered American commander-in-chief.  Charles Smith's chances for re-election are grim: apporval ratings are down, his money's running out, and nuclear war might be imminent.  Though his staff has thrown in the towel and his wife is preparing for her post-White House life, Chuck isn't ready to give up just yet.

NOVEMBER is a scathingly hilarious take on the state of America today and lengths to which people will go to win.

Company

The clashing sounds and pulsing rhythms of New York City underscore this landmark "concept" show, considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre. COMPANY follows our anti-hero bachelor Robert as he makes his way through a series of encounters with April (the stewardess), Kathy (the girl who's going to marry someone else), Marta (the "peculiar" one), as well as with his married friends. 

On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert contemplates his unmarried state. In vignette after hilarious vignette, we are introduced to "those good and crazy people," his married friends, as Robert weighs the pros and cons of married life. In the end, he realizes being alone is "alone, not alive."

An honest, witty, sophisticated look at relationships, COMPANYis as contemporary and relevant as ever (witness the recent hit revivals on Broadway and the West End). It features a brilliant energetic score containing many of Stephen Sondheim's best-known songs (including "Another Hundred People," "The Ladies Who Lunch" and "Being Alive").

The Ghosts of Celilo

This ground-breaking production weaves a bittersweet love story within a mystery and features a haunting score of Native American music and traditional musical theatre songs.

The Ghosts of Celilo (suh-LIE-low) is a musical play based on true events that happened near Celilo Falls in the 1950s. Celilo was one of the world’s premiere fisheries and a cultural and spiritual center for native people before it was inundated by the Dalles Dam in 1957.

Ghosts features Native American music and traditional musical theatre genres telling the story of two Indian boys kidnapped and taken to a government boarding school. There, they are befriended by the white daughter of the school’s administrator. The three make a daring escape to catch their ceremonial first salmon before Celilo Falls is buried by the closing of the dam gates. This story is ‘remembered’ by four colorful ghosts who have been stuck at the bottom of the Columbia River for fifty years on the last remnants of fishing platforms that have been buried underwater where Celilo Falls once roared.

This dramatic musical is acted and sung by Native American and non-Native actors. The score is a powerful combination of music that combines Native American song and scoring with music more familiar to musical theatre.
