Star of Lennox is a contemporary ensemble musical (4 lead characters, with a chorus of at least 6) set in London at the end of the 19th century. Celia Lennox is the headliner of the failing Joie de Vivre Music Hall Club in London when aspiring composer Jasper Lamoureaux falls in love-at-first-sight with the club and the girl. It slowly becomes clear that Jasper isn’t the ingénue he presents himself to be. When Celia finds herself metaphorically trapped in Jasper’s clutches (by way of a coaxed and rushed marriage), Jasper decides the only way to rid himself of the wife he no longer desires is to send her to a Woman’s Asylum for Hysteria. Act Two of this play is experimental and sound/movement based, as it follows Celia’s experience in the asylum and her journey to her breaking point.

Spirit Journeyz is about a disenfranchised, feuding ghost hunting reality show hired to cleanse a deeply troubled family of "evil spirits." Big changes and a crisis of faith in the Spirit Journeyz Gang have frayed the once-harmonious friendship to a breaking point and have set up a dramatic “lockdown” investigation at the Brigg’s family home. The demonic apparitions haunting Hugo and his daughter Rikki Marie have put great strain on the Brigg’s family, but the family of die-hard fans are in for a rude awakening when they learn that their favorite celebrity Paranormal Investigators are not the impassioned believers they expected, and perhaps their problem is too much for the gang to solve.
