Jack’s Tale
Book by Scot Copeland
Music by Paul Carrol Binkley
Lyrics by Paul Carrol Binkley and Scot Copeland
Jack’s Tale by Scot Copeland and Paul Carroll Binkley is a spirited theatrical journey inspired by the old Irish “Jack legends”. Blending myth and history, the play follows a cunning, larger-than-life hero through rugged mountains, ancient folklore, and sweeping adventure. It celebrates the resilient people who braved the wilds of Scotland, wrestled farmland from the stony soil of Ireland, and ultimately helped form the backbone of the American Revolution. Both intimate and epic, Jack’s Tale is a tribute to courage, heritage, and the enduring power of story.

The Tragedy of Macbeth
By William Shakespeare
Adapted by D Wilkerson
Step into a chilling reimagining of Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth, where ambition, prophecy, and betrayal unfold beneath moonlit tombstones. Adapted by D. Wilkerson, this haunting production is set in a shadowed cemetery, blending classic verse with eerie Halloween atmosphere. Ghosts linger, witches whisper, and the line between the living and the dead begins to blur as Macbeth’s ruthless rise consumes all in its path. Dark, immersive, and visually striking, this is a Macbeth that will leave audiences thrilled, unsettled, and spellbound.

Urinetown
Music and Lyrics by Mark Hollman
Book and Lyrics by Greg Kotis
In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!
