INN-DEPENDENT
Book, music and lyrics by Blake Cordell
In this present-day homage to the musicals of the 40s, there are bouncy tunes, tapdancing and the high stakes of losing a family business surrounding a boy meets boy love story.
Blake Cordell wanted to portray a world where the queer romantic core was accepted and not the
battle to be fought similar to the Mickey and Judy movie musicals of yesteryear
THE UNCIVIL ONES
Book and lyrics by Christian Duhamel
Additional book by Charissa Bertels
Music by Ayomi Okada
Three strong, independent females seek to find their place in the male dominated society of the Civil War. High drama and a blue-grass/Appalachian-inspired score combine to explore
themes of freedom, equality, and intersectional feminism inspired by the historical figures Dr. Mary Elizabeth Walker, the only female to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor; Mary Jane Richards Bowser, a Union spy during the Civil War and Mary Irene (Levi) Hook, modeled on Albert DJ Cashier, a trans male who fights for the Union.
