Tickets are On Sale Now!!

We're bringin' back the funk with the show that put 11th Hour on the map! In this ad-rap-tation of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, four actors play over a dozen roles as they rap their way through this modern take on a classic tale of mistaken identity. This fast, funny and occasionally flamboyant musical is hip-hop heaven for Shakespeare fans and B-Boys alike! If you missed it the first time around, now is your chance to catch the funniest show of the fall theater season! Seven 2007 Barrymore Nominations and winner for Best Ensemble in a Musical.

ORDINARY DAYS
Written by Adam Gwon
Directed by Joe Calarco · Musical Direction by Eric Ebbenga
November 25th - December 18, 2011 · Skybox at the Adrienne Theater

From one of musical theatre's most exciting new composers, Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love and cabs. With equal doses of humor, poignancy and memorable songs, this is an original musical for anyone who's ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. Starring 11th Hour founders Michael Philip O'Brien and Steve Pacek and directed by Barrymore and Helen Hayes Award Winner Joe Calarco (PTC's Light in the Piazza & Last Five Years). Philadelphia Premiere.

SEE WHAT I WANNA SEE
Written by Michael John LaChiusa, Based on short stories by Ryunosuke Akutagawa
Co-directed by Megan Nicole O'Brien and Steve Pacek · Musical Direction by Dan Kazemi
Spring of 2012 · Location TBD

Praised by the Associated Press as "an intelligent, adult musical that entertains and astonishes at the same time," See What I Wanna See is a piece about love, betrayal, truth and faith. A triptych of stories and styles woven together by similar themes, this ambitious musical gives us a glimpse into three different worlds - an adulterous couple in medieval Japan, a gangster and the doll he desires in 1950's New York, and a priest who is losing his faith in Manhattan today.

PHILLY ROCKS!
