MARCY IN THE GALAXY
Book, music, and lyrics by Nancy Shayne
Based on a story by Nancy Shayne and Michael Patrick King
March 28 – April 20, 2008
[Please note: no late seating at any performance]
The Connelly Theatre: 220 East 4th St.
With music by one of New York's most idiosyncratic composers and a book by the Emmy Award-winning writer of HBO's Sex and the City, Marcy in the Galaxy is a funny, dark musical glimpse at what happens to a woman whose dream of being a New York artist takes longer to come true than she had planned. At mid-life, Marcy finds herself alone in The Galaxy Diner out of money and almost out of hope. What ensues is a humorous and poignant self-examination that explores dreams, disappointment, family, first love, and delicious diner desserts.

Book and lyrics by Laura Harrington
October 19 – November 18, 2007
The Connelly Theatre: 220 East 4th St.
Crossing Brooklyn is a modern musical that deals with the emotional aftermath of September 11th in New York City. With music by Jonathan Larson Award-winning composer Jenny Giering and book and lyrics by Emmy Award winner Laura Harrington, Crossing Brooklyn tells the story of Des and AJ, a young, idealistic couple who are both very much in love. They are both public school teachers bent on changing the world, one kid at a time. Life is full of promise and endless possibility until Des begins to unravel under the weight of her fears, ignited from that fateful September day. Splitting apart under the strain, Des and AJ struggle to find their way back to each other. The lessons they learn will change them forever.
Crossing Brooklyn was originally commissioned and developed by
The Boston Music Theatre Project at The Suffolk University Theatre Department.
