Masked tells the story of a fictional vaudeville & film star known as the first black actor to become a millionaire. Enveloped in Hollywood’s idea of being black, the legendary artist, Jarvis Blake, struggles to find his true identity.

Sometimes it takes a blackout to see the light. A star-crossed prophecy.  Two charming sisters and a luckless sandwich maker.  A lot of music.  Just not a lot of light.  Conceived by Kim Rosenstock (Tigers Be Still) and written by her with songwriters Will Connolly and Michael Mitnick, this darkly comic and rock-musical romance follows a trio of young New Yorkers as they pine for love, and grope for flashlights, in the epic blackout of 1965.

Presenting the most outrageously fun Broadway musical, a spectacular show that tells the uplifting story of a trio of friends on a road trip of a lifetime. Hopping aboard a battered old bus in search of love and friendship in the middle of the Australian Outback, they end up finding more than they could ever have dreamed.  An international hit with over 500 dazzling, Tony® Award-winning costumes, PRISCILLA features a hit parade of dance-floor favorites including “It’s Raining Men,” “Finally” and “I Will Survive.”  The Hollywood Reporter calls PRISCILLA “funny and fabulous!  Joyous entertainment with eye-popping visuals and unexpected heart!”

Successful Long Island businessman Joe Benjamin is a modern-day ‘Job” with a high maintenance wife, ungrateful children, and wise-cracking household help.  Just when it seems things couldn’t get any worse, he is visited by “a Messenger from God” with a mission to test Joe’s faith  and report back to “the Boss”.  The jokes and tests of faith fly fast and furious as Neil Simon spins a contemporary morality tale.
