MR. PARKER
by MICHAEL McKEEVER
Directed by JOE BRANCATO
From the author of AFTER and DANIEL’S HUSBAND comes a potent look at love and lust, life and loss.

THE VIRTUOUS LIFE OF
JOSEPH ANDREWS
Conceived & directed by
JOE BRANCATO
Book & lyrics by CARY GITTER
Music by MAX SILVERMAN
Misadventures abound for handsome, naïve Joseph Andrews, abandoned as a baby, tutored by the clueless Parson Adams, pursued by the lecherous Lady Booby, tempted by the wily chambermaid Betty, but in love with the forbidden Fanny. Inspired by Henry Fielding’s novel, this rollicking comic romp through 18th-century England is from the author of THE SABBATH GIRL.
BREATH & IMAGINATION:
THE STORY OF ROLAND HAYES
by DANIEL BEATY
Directed by GEOVONDAY JONES
Before Paul Robeson and Marian Anderson, there was trailblazing African-American vocalist Roland Hayes. Born the son of a slave, Roland turned adversity into opportunity, and, at his peak in the 1920s, was the highest paid singer in the world. This inspirational musical play soars with spirituals and operatic arias as it traces Hayes’ journey from a plantation in Georgia to performing for royalty in Europe.
