The Shows we are producing
Savage the Musical - Currently in development
An O’Neill Semifinalist with 47k streams on music platforms and 10K social media followers! A new dramatic musical with pop inspired jazz and blues based on 1920s Chickasaw star and mother, Wanda Savage. Savage is a powerful story of redemption. Wanda was a flawed character who faced oppression, racism, sexism, and abuse; a modern woman who encountered many issues that women still deal with today. Wanda refused to embrace the stereotype of Native women that was dominant in her day and persists into the 21st Century.
Millenials are Killing Musicals
Meet Brenda: single Millennial mom who wants to do better “adulting” like the seemingly perfect Jake’s Mom at her daughter’s school. Brenda is finally ready for love and creativity in her life when her younger #influencer sister Katrina shows up at her house, eight months pregnant, totally unprepared for motherhood. Will the three women shed the Greek chorus of social media filters on their lives to achieve their dreams?
We are proud co producers of Millennials are Killing Musicals. MKM had a developmental production OFf Broadway and just finished it's world premiere run at the Colony Theatre in Burbank.
In Pieces
In Pieces is a love story about the people you don't end up with. It's a bold, contemporary new musical featuring a pop-driven score that dives into echoes of love, loss, and self-discovery by weaving the romantic journeys of six characters across three-chapters of life. As friends, family, and former lovers confront old wounds and unresolved feelings, will they learn to coexist with the joy and pain of the past?
We are proud to be co-producers on In Pieces by Joey Contreras! The album has been streamed millions of times and the show has thousands of followers. In Pieces just had a staged concert at the Other Palace in the UK that can be streamed for a limited time!
Off Broadway - A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet
We are proud to be the coproducers under Jo-Ann Dean and with Tony Award winning producer Cody Lassen for A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet. Running through Nov. 14, 2021 and getting rave reviews!
Riot Grrrl
Riot Grrrl: The Anti-Punk Musical is a bold new musical in development set in 1992 at the height of the Riot Grrrl movement. Three young outsiders : a defiant zine writer, a Black musician breaking into the male-dominated punk scene, and a straight-A student hiding a devastating secret collide in a story of friendship, survival, identity, and the moment personal anger becomes collective power. Driven by a raw, contemporary punk score, Riot Grrrl is a story about what it costs to speak the truth ... and why it's worth it.
Off With Your Head
Off With Your Head! is a bold new reimagining of Lewis Carroll's beloved Alice in Wonderland, told through the eyes of the Queen of Hearts. When Red, a young mother fleeing domestic violence, escapes into psychosis through a mysterious looking glass, she is crowned Queen of a surreal Wonderland where every inhabitant represents a fragment of her fractured mind. The Mad Hatter embodies her psychosis, the Cheshire Cat her conscience, the White Rabbit the truth she can't face, and the March Hare her lost inner child. As Wonderland tightens its grip and the line between madness and reality blurs, a curious girl named Alice follows a rabbit into Red's world and may be the only one who can bring her back. A story about motherhood, mental health, trauma, and healing, Off With Your Head! unfolds simultaneously in Wonderland and a parallel reality, making the audience question what is real and what is madness. Developed during a residency at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Ireland.
Damned If She Does
Damned If She Does is a bold new steampunk gothic musical set in an underworld empire ruled by women the world condemned. When Mary crashes into the Court of the Damned, she must navigate a surreal mechanical world populated by history's most infamous and forgotten women each carrying the weight of what was done to them and what they did to survive. Part courtroom drama, part feminist reckoning, Damned If She Does asks who gets to decide a woman's guilt, who profits from her shame, and what happens when the condemned finally put down their stones. A story about grace, survival, and the radical act of telling women's stories right.
Rollin With the Punches
Nicolette Blount produced a filmed reading of Rolling With the Punches by Joel S . Bailey and directed by Ben Rauch for TRU VOICES. Rolling With the Punches stars Carey Cox as Jo Lee (Hulu’s Handmaid’s Tale, Broadway’s Glass Menagerie, Off Bway God of Carnage) with Becca Ayers as Loreen Lee (Broadway: 1776, My Fair Lady, South Pacific, Adam’s Family, Les Miserables, Avenue Q), Allen Lewis Rickman as Mr. Brudnick, Bucky (TV: Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Boardwalk Empire, Film: A Serious Man, Son of Saul, Broadway: Relatively Speaking, Off Broadway: Yentl, Mack and Mabel), Shiomara Gonzalez as Alex (Off Broadway: The House Where Nobody Lives), Marc Winski as Ethan (Broadway National Tour of Grease), Adam Lebow as Rusty, Tessie Herrasti as Mama Rama, Marisa Giachetti as Chris and Jo Lee Understudy, Jordan Richards as Tommy, Hollis, Carrie Jean Henley as Jackie and Tatiana Montes - Stage Directions (Assistant Company Manager Little Shop of Horrors).
Rolling With the Punches is about Twenty-something and wheelchair-bound Jo's life is turned upside-down when her mother’s boyfriend moves in. When Jo's poor judgment causes a serious accident, she is wrongly placed in an asylum under Chicago’s cruel and archaic ‘Ugly Law’, where deformed and unsightly people must stay out of sight from the public. Her treatment and subsequent escape emboldens her to fight to repeal the unjust law. Its 1974 overturning remains a milestone in the Civil Rights movement for the disabled.
The reading will conclude with a Talk Back with the producers, director, and others in the industry.
