Synopsis: A musical about the life of Howard Hughes: iconoclastic, womanizing billionaire, investor, film producer, anonymous benefactor, and aviator, told from the point of view from his long time lieutenant Noah Dietrich. The musical takes us from the early days in Houston to his reclusive, secretive life involving marriages to Ella Rice, a Houston socialite, to Jean Peters, 20th Century Fox film star and his long affair with the luminary Katharine Hepburn.

Synopsis: The new Hoagy Carmichael musical THE STARDUST SUPPER CLUB is the story of two of Hoagy Carmichael’s closest friends, now a longtime married couple who run a small nightclub.  When Hoagy is nominated for a 1952 Oscar, they celebrate by putting on their biggest show in years – only to watch it fall apart in ways both hilarious and heartbreaking as they find themselves examining their own lives in contrast to Hoagy’s huge success.  In the vein of Ain’t Misbehavin’ andForever Plaid, THE STARDUST SUPPER CLUB features the biggest hits of this quintessentially American composer, including “Georgia on My Mind,” “Skylark,” “Two Sleepy People,” and the immortal “Stardust.”

Synopsis: SWING WINGS is an original musical based on the World War II experiences of Frank Loesser, Milton Delugg and the fresh-faced Army Air Corps musicians who created the era’s signature radio broadcasts. In a time of patriotic sacrifice, they forged a bond that could not be broken. The military marches to a beat. These boys made it swing.

Synopsis: LOVE IN OUR LANGUAGE is a play with music, a personal view of two love stories, and of the subtleties of language between lovers in two cities; New York and London. Do they speak the same language? What do any of us understand when we fall in love?  The world in which these lovers exist is like the climate in Harriet Friedlander's greenhouse -- needing to be "just so", for love to thrive. The luck of sharing a lifetime, with one person who understands you completely, is the greatest gift of all.
