ADDING MACHINE
music by Joshua Schmidt ~ libretto by Jason Loewith & Joshua Schmidt
based on the play The Adding Machine by Elmer Rice

December 27 - February 1, 2009     Southeastern Premiere

Darkly comic and heartbreakingly beautiful, this Award-Winning musical adaptation of Elmer Rice's incendiary 1923 play tells the story of Mr. Zero who, after 25 years of service to his company, is replaced by a mechanical adding machine. A satiric view of capitalism that bears comparison with our own unsettled economy today.

"A brilliant musical that gets under your skin and stays there! Uncompromising and remarkable!"
- New York Times

February 21 - March 22, 2009     Southeastern Premiere

On a US Marine Corps base in 1971, two officers ~ one black and one white ~ are on a collision course over race, women and the high cost of doing the right thing. This riveting new work by the author of the Tony Award-winning Doubt is about power love and responsibility ~ who has it, who wants it, who deserves it.

"Ambitious tale of race relations & the military mindset, filled with provocative questions"

Shines a light on the struggles ~ and miracles ~ of America's public schools. A one-character play where the actor transforms herself into an entire classroom of children, their teachers, their parents, the principal, the janitor and even a security guard with a metal detector. A master class on heartbreak and humor ~ proving one passionate person can still make a difference.

"Astounding! An object lesson in what should not be missing from any life curriculum: hope."
- New Yorker

These delicious, distraught characters collide under surprising circumstances, as we discover just where our new century might by heading.

"If Leno and Letterman regularly scored this ratio of hits to quips, much of America would be hospitalized with late-night laughter burn!"
- New York Times
