The Persians...a comedy about war with five songs

Freely adapted from the oldest surviving play in the Western canon, Waterwell’s The Persians boldly places Aeschylus classic text in an early 1960s nightclub. Four magnetic performers run the gamut of American entertainment to portraya proud country on the cusp of oblivion.


“BRILLIANT. ORIGINAL. INSPIRED.
ALIVE ENOUGH TO SURPRISE EVEN
THE PERFORMERS THEMSELVES.”
– New York Times


The|King|Operetta

Taking inspiration from the legendary speeches, interviews, and private notes of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the obscured history of his last days shines with new meaning in this powerful performance. The|King|Operetta triumphs by adding new texture to the untold King story with soulful songs, pithy readings and stunning portrayals that will rouse and inspire.


“EXTRAORDINARY. BRILLIANT.
RAUCOUS. ONE OF THE BEST NEW
MUSICALS OF THE YEAR.”
– New York Magazine
