Emperor, Incorporated
Written by Wesley Middleton and Michael Keck, conceived by Nancy Halverson
January,
2005
Emperor, Incorporated , an exciting new musical inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes , revisits the classic themes of the original story through a contemporary lens. Set in a futuristic world pervaded by technology and ruled by consumerism, this new play for family audiences, like Andersen's tale, explores the humorous - and sometimes dangerous - delusions that grow from a life out of balance and a heart overtaken by greed. .

A Year With Frog and Toad
January 2006
A Year With Frog And Toad remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.
A score that bubbles with melody and wit, it's jazzy upbeat score performed by The Gene McGowan Trio will sound a perfect match for the hopping, crawling and flying denizens that inhabit Frog and Toad's world.
