Caught in the Net

Taxi driver John Smith has more than any man needs, including two families which he’s keeping in different parts of London.

Now, his teenage children, a girl from one family and a boy from the other, have met on the Internet and are anxious to meet in person since they seem to have so much in common.

Keeping them apart plunges John into a hell hole of his own making and the situation spirals out of control as John juggles outrageously with the truth.

Sound of Music

The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical.

When a postulant is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain, her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures his heart, and they marry.

Set amidst the Nazi invasion of Austria, the family's narrow escape to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre.

The motion picture version remains the most popular movie musical of all time.

KindergartenA funny, insightful, heartwarming look at what is profound in everyday life. An evening of theatrical storytelling with monologues, dialogues, and seven original songs.

The delightful stories feature colorful characters such as: a shy little boy who insists on playing the "pig" in his class production of Cinderella; a man whose dream of flying carries him high over Los Angeles...in a lawn chair; a "mother of the bride" who's staged a perfect wedding until the bowling ball of fate rolls down the aisle; and a modern-day Greek philosopher who finds the meaning of life in a piece of broken mirror from World War II.

These stories celebrate our very existence, from the whimsy of childhood to the wisdom of old age.
