Our Current Production!
STAGED READINGS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15 at 3 PM and SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16 at 5:30 PM
(FULL PRODUCTION TO FOLLOW IN THE NEW YEAR)
Using plenty of humor and songs, the story of Humpty Dumpty Cracks Up: A Musical About Bullying, Bathtubs, and Babysitting is about a high school student named Jack who is struggling to cope with being picked on and feeling like a misfit. The fact that Jack has the same last name as Humpty Dumpty is just the beginning of his problems. On his journey, he learns important life lessons from some unexpected sources: the kids he reluctantly babysits, his dreams populated by characters from nursery rhymes, and adults who seem too good to be real. Will Jack crack under pressure and be put together again? Or will he come out stronger than ever? Original lyrics are set to familiar tunes of popular folk material and kids’ songs. LIMITED SEATING. Reservations by email or advance purchase.
Come out to one of our upcoming Interest Meetings to learn more about the show or sit in on a rehearsal and see if we are the kind of group you're looking for! RSVP via email or Facebook!
Our ticket income for this and the mainstage shows are always 100% is donated to local non-profits and charities. In this case, we are giving your ticket money to the Helen Keller Services for the Blind in Brooklyn. Why? Because a key member of our volunteer group happens to be blind and was trained there, and there's a connection to our script because he inspired a character who is blind and is a performer. He'll be with us doing the role he inspired at the Sunday performance only (and in the full production in the near future).
