The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940
The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 is not your typical murder mystery. An eccentric heiress has invited a group of theatre people to her home on the pretense of holding a backer’s audition for a new musical. The creative team for this new project were also involved in a recent Broadway flop that closed abruptly when three of its showgirls were mysteriously murdered. As the mayhem unfolds, it’s not long before bodies are dropping once again and everyone’s a suspect. This Agatha Christie meets Clue whodunit parody features blizzard conditions, secret passageways, musical snippets, and plenty of slapstick comedy.
Will the mystery of the “Stage Door Slasher” be untangled before it’s too late?

Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind
Having opened in 1988 and still playing today as the longest-running show in Chicago history. Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is an ensemble experiment in presenting “30 Plays in 60 Minutes.” Each two-minute play is performed in random order with an interactive audience. An onstage 60-minute times keeps everyone honest. This collection of comic, tragic, political, personal, and abstract plays gives performers the chance to program their own production of plays to reflect life, while giving the audience the chance to get involved in the fun. On your mark...get set...Go!

Ain't Misbehavin'
The inimitable Thomas "Fats" Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club and that jumpin' new beat, swing music. Although not quite a biography, Ain't Misbehavin' evokes the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums and sings the songs that he made famous in a career that ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley. The intoxicating music of Fats Waller will delight and energize audiences as well as provide great insight into a vibrant time in American history and music.
