A story about two couples who decide to experiment with mate swapping.

A graduate project composed by two students at NYU's Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind relationships. Act I details the journey from dating and waiting to lovers and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set.

This depression-era political satire, set in NYC's Central Park, poses the question, "What's a young couple to do when they can't get married until he gets a raise, and his boss won't give him a raise until the president balances the budget?" Who should come strolling through the park but FDR himself, and soon he is determined to resolve the country's economic crisis on behalf of his young new friends. The ensuing machinations bring on the entire cabinet, the supreme court, the Chief Justice, the Federal Theatre's production of "Spring in Vienna," and the president's mother.

Songwriter Gus Kahn gets the Hollywood treatment. The film chronicles his success and decline, with his wife Grace sticking by him the whole time.

Identified primarily as feminist writers, composer Nancy Ford and lyricist librettist Gretchen Cryer make a personal expression with this musical. The central role, played by Miss Cryer, is a divorced 39 year old pop singer attempting a comeback.

Based on letters, anecdotes and Coward's nostalgic songs, it is the story of a strong and powerful friendship forged in childhood and cut short by Lawrence's early death.

In St. Louis, At The Fair

The St. Louis World Fair in 1904 was a scientific marvel. Newfangled inventions were introduced: autos, phonographs, kinetoscopes and many more... including the world's first great outdoor lighting display. This musical comedy captures the wonder and excitement of those bygone days, while using the memorable music of the period. The story revolves around Dick Williams, the young electrical engineer who is preparing the fair for its gala opening, and Rose Harris, who is working at the "St. Louis Centennial Exposition Dining Room." There's the feature song, of course, "Meet Me In St. Louis," plus many other turn-of-the-century hits.

It's the July 4th weekend in Washington Heights, a vibrant and tight-knit neighborhood at the top of Manhattan. The musical explores the joys, heartbreaks and bonds of a Latino community struggling to redefine home.

INSIDE OUT is a musical about five women (and a group leader) in group therapy. When they can no longer speak, they sing. In several scenes, they roleplay people in their lives, bringing those people to life. In one scene, they roleplay one another, in a turn of events that's both funny and devastating. What is it that keeps these women returning for more? Support -- the gift that helps them get through life.

Inspector Incognito and the Kansas City Kid

Yes, there's trouble in town! No, not in River City, but right here in Tumbleweed, a dusty town in the Arizona Territory of the 1880s. And the bumbling Mayor Oates deserves a heap of trouble! A Boston businessman has hired the pompous fool to develop the town. Instead of spending the businessman's money wisely, however, Oates and his family have been pocketing it! The family has filled all the local positions in town themselves-sheriff, doctor, schoolmarm-and they are totally incompetent! And the town hall they were suppose to build? Nothing but a hole in the ground! When the family receives word that an inspector is on his way from Boston to see how the town is developing, they panic. Just then, huckster Professor Burns comes to town. The family assumes the professor is the detective, and he is only too happy to take full advantage of their mistake. In cahoots with the glitzy cardshark, Lily de Lilac, they have the flustered relatives tripping over themselves with hysterical bribery attempts. Just when you think you couldn't laugh any harder, the real detective shows up! This wild farce has as many twists and turns as the road to Tumbleweed itself. Songs like "We'd Do Anything For You," "Liar, Liar Liar!" and "Tumbleweeds" add even more sparkle to this hysterical musical.

Internal Teen Machine, The

Here's an easy-to-produce musical! It takes place inside the body of a high school student. Yes, that's right... INSIDE!!! Marc Williams always starts to sneeze whenever he sees a certain girl he likes. Unfortunately for several students, Marc 's sneezes go too far. The teens, who were shrunk in a fluke nasal spray accident, are swooped into his nasal passages and thrown into his body's dark interior. How will Chad, Mindy, Lavinia, Danny and Julia, the prom queen wannabe, escape? In their attempts, they elude evil bacteria and take a rafting trip through the circulatory system on a toothpick. Watch the good white and red blood cells battle hostile intruders. What about the sleeping foot that won't wake up? And when Marc pigs out on a pineapple and double cheese and chili pizza, it's a ride on the "Indigestion Express." Enjoy an exhilarating score, including a flu bug that imitates Elvis Presley! Hit songs include "Heartburn Hotel," "Smoke Gets In Your Lungs," and the hilarious "Sour Belly Blues."
