Synopsis: A missing spy. A mysterious woman. A man on the run. When an ordinary man stops to help a stranger, he’s catapulted into a high-speed chase across the Scottish countryside — with only his wits (and a trench coat) to survive. This fast-paced farce features over 150 characters played by just four actors in a whirlwind of costume changes, clever staging, and nonstop laughs. A comic thriller at its best, The 39 Steps is a wildly inventive tale of mistaken identity, espionage, and split-second decisions that change everything.

Synopsis: At the height of the Great Depression, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow went from two small-town nobodies in West Texas to America’s most renowned folk heroes and Texas law enforcement’s worst nightmares. Fearless, shameless and alluring, the Tony-nominated musical Bonnie & Clyde, from composer Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, Civil War, Dracula), is the electrifying story of love, adventure and crime that captured the attention of an entire country.

In this new, paired-down version by book writer Ivan Menchell (Death Note: The Musical, The Cemetery Club), the script focuses more closely on the young lovers, their downward spiral, and their loved ones' entanglement with the law. Bonnie & Clyde is a thrilling and sexy musical with a non-traditional musical theatre score, combining blues, gospel and rockabilly with an opportunity to showcase strong contemporary singers and actors who can double in many parts.
