FANNY
Fanny is pissed. Why shouldn’t she be? She’s stuck in her less talented, more famous brother’s shadow, controlled by her conservative parents, and ignored by society. So what does she do about it? She doesn’t cry, she doesn’t complain, she composes. Fanny is a punk musical about the real life of classical composer Fanny Mendelssohn. This show weaves together classical music and original punk songs, highlighting the delicate and complicated angst of a woman in 1800’s Germany. While the show is hilariously touching, above all it ROCKS.

Retrospecs (In-Person & Video on Demand)
Back in the early days of television (the 1990s), writers hoping to break in would write episodes of existing shows; these "spec" scripts were never meant to be produced, only to serve as samples for the aspiring writer. Spec scripts have gone out of fashion, but, in addition to being a great way to learn the craft, they were a lot of fun! You got to see the stamp individual writers put on your favorite shows.
In Retrospecs, we dig those old scripts by established writers out of their drawers and expose them to the warm light of the Elysian stage. Starring actors you know and love from TV, film, comedy, and the stage. From Girls to Gilmore Girls, from the Big Bang Theory to Buffy, get NEW EPISODES of your favorite shows, written by writers who never wrote for those shows! Only from Retrospecs.
