Never After Happily

by Cindy Marcus

Directed by Jessica Stanley

Never After Happily is a sharp, witty comedy that satirizes traditional fairy tales by exploring what happens to classic characters decades after their supposed "happily ever after." The story follows Ella, an imaginative writer who chooses to bypass the usual perfect endings, forcing the fairy tale kingdom into an existential crisis where characters actually age and face real-world problems. Chaos ensues as a middle-aged Cinderella and a cast of increasingly neurotic princes and princesses grapple with relationship friction, mundane realities, and the comedy of growing older in a world that expected them to remain flawless forever.

Man of La Mancha

Book by Dale Wasserman, lyrics by Joe Darion, and music by Mitch Leigh

Directed by Susan Herrick

Man of La Mancha is a poignant musical framed as a "play within a play", taking place in a 16th-century dungeon where the author Miguel de Cervantes has been imprisoned by the Spanish Inquisition. To safeguard his precious manuscript from his cynical fellow inmates, Cervantes enlists them to act out his story about Alonso Quijana, an elderly gentleman who has lost his mind and transformed himself into the noble knight-errant, Don Quixote. Accompanied by his loyal squire Sancho Panza, Quixote battles windmills he believes to be giants and transforms a hardened, cynical kitchen maid named Aldonza into his ideal, virtuous lady, Dulcinea. Through this sweeping performance, the play explores themes of idealism versus realism, ultimately showing how Quixote's "impossible dream" of chivalry, honor, and compassion can inspire even the most broken souls to see the world not just as it is, but as it ought to be.

Charlotte's Web

Adapted from the book by E.B. White by Joseph Robinette

Directed by Mishelle Levi

This stage adaptation of Charlotte's Web captures the heart of the classic tale, focusing on the extraordinary friendship between Wilbur, a young pig, and Charlotte, a wise and loyal spider. When Wilbur is moved to the Zuckerman barn and learns he is destined for the slaughterhouse, Charlotte vows to save him. Using her unique silk-spinning talents, she begins weaving praiseworthy phrases about Wilbur directly into her webs—such as "Some Pig" and "Terrific"—astounding the locals and turning the farm into a sensation. Supported by the cynical, food-driven rat Templeton and a colorful cast of barnyard animals, Charlotte launches a clever campaign to prove Wilbur's worth to the world and secure his safety.

Mary Poppins

Co-created by Cameron Mackintosh and Disney, featuring original music and lyrics by the Sherman Brothers, a book by Julian Fellowes, and new songs and additional music by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe.

Directed by Janae Erickson

The stage musical adaptation of Mary Poppins follows the wealthy but fractured Banks family in Edwardian London, whose lives are upended by the sudden arrival of a mysterious, practically perfect nanny. Sent to care for the mischievous young Jane and Michael, Mary Poppins uses a clever mix of magic, common sense, and whimsy to take the children on extraordinary adventures alongside Bert, a cheerful jack-of-all-trades. However, her lessons are ultimately designed for the adults; through her subtle guidance, the emotionally distant Mr. Banks and his overwhelmed wife learn to prioritize love and family over rigid social expectations and financial status. Blending the classic Disney film elements with P.L. Travers' original stories, the musical uses unforgettable music and breathtaking spectacle to explore themes of childhood wonder, empathy, and the importance of holding onto what truly matters.
