Turkey and Blue Eyes have always been good little girls… until they meet a Strange Girl who tells them she has two tiny dancers in a box, but they can only see the dancers if they are very wicked. They go home and try to be wicked, but their mother tells them if they don’t behave then she will have to go away and send them a new mother with glass eyes and a wooden tail. They don’t want to lose their mother, but they MUST see the dancers. What are two good little girls to do?

It's a contemplative order, but Sisters Edith and Edna never stop talking. Father Benedict is coming to consecrate the new bell tower today, and the Mother Superior is thinking she might have to ask him to excommunicate them, because they NEVER. Shut. Up.

Loosely based on the hagiography of St. Benedict, as related in The Golden Legend by Jacobus de Voragine.

Petty bureaucrat Kovalyov has always prided himself on his good looks and laughed at disfigurement in others, but his tune changes when his own nose up and runs away! Disguising itself as a higher ranking bureaucrat with fancy uniform and plumed hat, his nose sets out on a mad dash through Petersburg, and Kovalyov finds that whatever the consequences, he must follow his nose.

The Nose is a whimsical family musical based on Nikolai Gogol's beloved tale. The Nose entertains with Russian-flavored music and family-friendly humor, while featuring themes and lessons that resonate from Imperial Russia to modern-day America.

The Nose is in English, and a Russian translation is also available.

Based on the true (?!) story of New York's famous Cardiff Giant

Hector and Inez have been poor all their lives—until Hector finds a bag of money hidden in the woods! Inez makes him promise to keep quiet about it: she's sure that a bandido must have hidden that money, and if he finds out they have it... But Inez knows her husband can't zip his lips for long, so she'd better come up with a scheme clever enough to fool a bandido...a scheme involving a peculiar downpour of tamales! Throw in a narrator-cat with a penchant for drama, a hard working miller and her daughter, and of course a bandido armed with hot peppers and squishy tomatoes, and you have a recipe for a tasty musical comedy.
