The Scottsboro Boys by David Thompson
The story is based on the true story of the infamous 1930s Scottsboro case, in which a group of nine innocent African American teenagers was falsely accused of a terrible crime against white women in Alabama. After a series of trials, including a case that made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Scottsboro events ultimately provoked a national outrage that helped to spark the Civil Rights movement. A stellar cast in this new musical triumph depicts one of the most important and notorious chapters in American history. The company of actors is extraordinary, with razor sharp dancing, and soaring music.

All Shook Up by Joe DiPietro
ALL SHOOK UP is an irresistible musical comedy-love story about a small town girl who dreams of hitting the open road, and the mysterious guitar-playing stranger who brings romance and rock'n'roll into her life. Written in the same style as Broadway's Mamma Mia, this is a new romantic comedy tailored to the classic hits of Elvis Presley. See the song list. The songs are immortal, the dancing is incredible! And the result is a rockin' hot staging that audiences will love!

The Dixie Swim Club by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope & Jamie Wooten
This popular comedy is currently sweeping the country. Five Southern women, whose friendship began on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend each year to recharge that friendship. Free from husbands, kids, and jobs, they meet every August at the same beach cottage on North Carolina's Outer Banks to laugh, catch up, and meddle in each other's lives. The Dixie Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends over a span of thirty-three years and demonstrates the power of teamwork and the strength of love.
