Something in the Water World Premiere Book, Music & Lyrics by Matt Zembrowski This summer’s premiere is sure to be another smash hit by Matt Zembrowski, author of Dad’s Season Tickets. In this madcap, musical farce, the Grand Waukesha Springs Resort has seen better days. It will take more than a miracle to keep it from closing for good. With the help of its dedicated staff (and a few zany guests) the beloved hotel might just escape being lost to history. Mayhem and mistaken identities abound in this Vaudevillian murder mystery where nothing is as it seems (and no one really dies!) |
Dairy Heirs Book by Joel Kopischke & Eva Nimmer Music by Alissa Rhode Lyrics by Joel Kopischke Elsie Fredericks, a passionate farmer, continuing in her family’s long tradition. But when her father passes away unexpectedly, estranged older brother Gabe returns to Wisconsin from Los Angeles with his own ideas about what to do with the family business. As the siblings wrestle with the fate of the farm, so do their partners, neighbors, two wannabe identical twin farmhands, and one extraordinary cow. Dairy Heirs untangles the question of what family tradition means to people with different dreams, and where — and with whom — one finds “home sweet home.” |
No Bones About It Music by Paul Libman Book & Lyrics by Dave Hudson No Bones About It features feuding families, star-crossed lovers, and bitter rivalries – Sound familiar?

In this case, ‘char’ crossed lovers, Ronny and Julie, find themselves at the Verona National Ribfest where their families are competing for the top prize. Drawing heavily from the source, No Bones About It is full of love and music, but with a bit more of a happy ending than Shakespeare’s play. |
