Catch Me If You Can

This high-flying, musical comedy by Terrance McNally, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman follows the riveting true story of a con artist seeking fame and fortune with nothing more than charm, imagination, and millions of dollars in forged checks.

Let’s Hang On!

"Crunchin hard rock is the drivin part. brittle countryish balladry the cryin, with the two linked by a heavy dose of Led Zeppelinphilia.

Cry It Out


Four months ago, Jessie was a corporate lawyer with a glamorous Manhattan life.  Today, she is in dirty yoga pants, covered in breast milk, trying to comfort a screaming newborn.  Isolated in a sleepy suburb, Jessie is desperate to talk to anyone besides the Food Network.  So when she spies a fellow new mom and neighbor, Lina, at the local Stop & Shop, one coffee together quickly becomes a daily coffee.  But their intimacy is punctured when a stranger who lives in the mansion up on the cliff appears in the yard, asking if they would include his wife.  Reluctantly, the duo tries to become a trio, but with very mixed—and surprising—results.  A comedy with dark edges, CRY IT OUT takes an honest look at the absurdities of being home with a baby, the power of female friendship, the dilemma of going back to work, and the effect class has on parenthood in America.

Hank Williams: Lost Highway

Hank Williams:  Lost Highway
The musical classic "Hank Williams: Lost Highway" is directed by Jimmy O. Burdette. This spectacular musical biography of the legendary singer-songwriter frequently mentioned alongside Louis Armstrong, Robert Johnson, Duke Ellington, Elvis and Bob Dylan as one of the great innovators of American popular music, follows Hank Williams' rise from his beginnings on the Louisiana Hayride to his triumphs on the Grand Ole Opry to his eventual self-destruction at twenty-nine. Along the way, we are treated to indelible songs like "I'm So Lonesome I Could Die”, "Move It on Over" and "Hey, Good Lookin'," which are given fresh and profound resonance set in the context of Williams' life.
