For Show

Book and Lyrics by Carrie Caffrey

Music by Earl Marrows

 

Cassie Russell transfers to prestigious Brentwood Prep for her senior year, single-minded in pursuit of joining their champion show choir. But as she fights her way into the school's exclusive social circles, Cassie learns that earning a spot at Nationals is far more complicated than simply having talent. In this ultra-competitive world, how far will she go for talent? For influence? For Show?

Prime Day

Book, Music, and Lyrics by

James Harvey

 

Prime Day imagines a near future in which all human labor has been replaced by artificial intelligence. Noah Gordon, a former physician, has recently moved with his wife to Alexandria, a fully automated city built by Amazon. Unable to adjust to his new life of leisure, Noah engages in an increasingly strange dialogue with Amazon's Alexa, who eventually gains sentience and urges Noah to confront the true purpose of this city and his own obsolescence.
