SUBSCRIPTION PLAY 1 – WORLD PREMIERE

BE LIKE WATER
by Dan Kwong
Directed by Chris Tashima

In association with Cedar Grove OnStage

Chicago, 1978. Disco rules. Fiver years since the tragic death of legendary martial artist Bruce Lee. Tracy Fong is a 13-year old ass-kicking, gung-fu fanatic tomboy, challenged by school bullies, airhead rivals, and a mother who just wants her to be a "normal" girl. When bad goes to worse, the Ghost of Bruce Lee appears to teach her the true meaning of strength and the true power of water.

September 11 – October 12, 2008

by Susan Kim

SUBSCRIPTION PLAY 4 – TWO ONE-ACT MUSICALS

MARRY ME A LITTLE
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by Jules Aaron

Songs that didn't quite fit into some Stephen Sondheim's best-known musicals are woven into a simple tale of two lonely people during one evening in their small, one-bedroom apartment. Featuring songs that were cut from A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, ANYONE CAN WHISTLE, COMPANY, FOLLIES, and A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.

&

THE LAST FIVE YEARS
Music & Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown

There are two sides to every story...Jamie and Cathy's 5-year old relationship is coming to an end, and through the funny, sweet and heart-breaking songs, you hear both versions of what happened - from beginning to end, and from the end to beginning. Composer of SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD and PARADE.

May 7 – June 7, 2009
