2. The Orphan's Revenge (or Abandoned at Cooper's Cross)

The current crop of unstoppable Marvel-inspired feature films all got their start from the tremendously popular melodramas of the 1800s with the heroine, hero and dastardly villain. THE ORPHAN’S REVENGE is immersive and audience responsive (with the actors actually responding back to the audience). Our selfless heroine sacrifices herself to keep the orphanage from being recycled into a saloon. And to make this even more enjoyable, all this fun is wrapped in a musical format! Originally produced by the Group Rep, this was one of the most successful productions in our 50-year history, eventually winding its way to the Ford Theatre in Washington, DC. It is tongue-planted-ferociously-in-cheek with music that is imminently hummable and lyrics that are wickedly whip smart.
