White features music and lyrics by Charles Strouse.  Charlotte's Web is a heartwarming musical about the unlikely friendship between a spirited pig named Wilber and a wise, compassionate spider named Charlotte.  When Wilbur's life is in danger, Charlotte hatches a clever plan to save him, spinning words into her web that capture the admiration of all.

A Day in Hollywood / A Night in the Ukraine is a musical comedy double feature that celebrates the golden age of entertainment. 

With a book and lyrics by Dick Vosburgh and music by Frank Lazarus, the first act is a sparkling musical revue set in the lobby of Hollywood's historic Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where ushers sing and dance their way through classic songs, hilarious movie trivia, and a tribute to the magic of the silver screen.  The second act transports audiences to a wildly comic adventure inspired by the Marx Brothers, filled with zany characters, witty dialogue, and madcap antics.
