Some Lovers, which is inspired by the O. Henry tale The Gift of the Magi, charts the emotional journey of a couple (Molly and Ben) at two different stages of their lives.

LOCH NESS

Lyrics & Book by A.D. Penedo
Directed by Marshall Pailet
Chances are, you've heard of the Loch Ness Monster? But have you met the lady herself? In this whimsical new musical co-written by Marshall Pailet and AD Penedo, a scientist’s young daughter discovers herself — and a small, magical, and very reptilian creature — on the waters of the Scottish Highlands. Loch Ness is equal parts cheeky comedy, heart-warming family drama, and uplifting musical journey.
