THE SECRET GARDEN Comes to Virginia Children's Theatre Next Month

Kicking off their 15th Season, Virginia Children’s Theatre (VCT) will produce the classic tale of THE SECRET GARDEN. This musical adaptation is a timeless tale filled with love, hope and adventure that takes the stage at Jefferson Center (541 Luck Ave SW) October 7-8, 2022.

SPANDEX, THE AUDIO MUSICAL Will Be Performed on Musical Theatre Radio Next Weekend

Listeners will hear the tale of Lorraine Stubenski, a gymnast who once 'lost her balance,' and shockingly failed to qualify for the Olympics; 20 years later, with the help of a newly taking-charge housewife and an Israeli fitness guru learning how to 'make aerobics,' Lorraine must face her onetime gymnastic partner and love interest, the diet-pill pushing Trip Allen, in the only place he might be vulnerable: the National Crystal Light Aerobics Championship, hosted by Alan Thicke.

Nothing can keep you down. No man. No woman. Not even a global pandemic! The creators of  SPANDEX THE MUSICAL, a new original musical inspired by the viral video of the 1988 Crystal Light National Aerobics Championship, are producing a new audio musical from quarantine!

'The Pearl Diver' is a magical tale about a young girl and a sea dragon. It was first known as the subject of a Noh, a medieval musical. In the spring of 2012 the story could be seen on illustrated scrolls at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. This production incorporates poetry, song, dance and live music.

Not discouraged by their first outing, Variety Show on a Weekday comes roaring back with its distinct brand of short plays, songs, dances and animal acts* for three days this July at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe (Tuesday, July 12th - Thursday, July 14th)

Broadway and Symphony Pop Siren N'Kenge joins the All Star Cast at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center (APAC) which will host a Funk-Raising evening to benefit the development of 54: the musical, the first project selected for its new works initiative. The evening, featuring selections from 54, will be held June 17 at 8 PM at The House of Independents (HOI) in Asbury Park, NJ. Directed by Rachel Klein with choreography by Liz Piccoli, 54:the musical features a book by playwright and actress Renee Bang Allen.

Every once in a while a show comes out that will transform the face of theater, both in New York and around the world. This is not that show. It is a loose collection of scenes and songs from some of today's most local writers.
