ABOUT THE SHOWS:

FUGITIVE SONGS 

Directed by Georgia Mallory Guy; Music Direction by Latoya McCormick-Hutchinson  

Fugitive Songs is a 19-song journey across America that spotlights people on the run, offering a new sound for a restless America.

Award-winning songwriters Chris Miller and Nathan Tysen's Fugitive Songs is a 19-song journey across America, featuring a multi-ethnic ensemble (3 men, 3 women) between the ages of 20 and 40. This innovative song cycle, conceived as half-musical/half-hootenanny, spotlights people on the run: a disgruntled Subway sandwich employee, a jilted ex-cheerleader, a pair of Patty Hearst fanatics, a stoner forced to rob a convenience store against his will, and many others. 
 
Blending traditional folk music with contemporary pop and gospel, Fugitive Songs offers a new sound for a restless America. This eclectic score provides exceptional material for a wide range of experienced singers, and delivers poignant and thought-provoking lyrics that capture each character's "reasons to run."

The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui 

By Bertolt Brecht, originally translated by George Tabori, revised by Alistair Beaton 

Directed by David J. Valdez 

Protection for workers, jobs, businesses. As the Great Depression hits the City's fortunes, Arturo strikes a deal and makes a killing until soon his shadow looms from the markets to the docks. But whether you're with him or against him, you can't ignore the resistible rise of Arturo Ui!
