Total Transparency
Opening October 2027
Tickets - Coming Early 2027!
Total Transparency follows Dave, an isolated widower living in a New York City apartment untouched since the 1970s. When his longtime friend George arranges for a young gay man named Chuck to transfer Dave's old family home movies onto digital media, generational clashes and misunderstandings initially spark severe friction between the two men.
As they spend hours working on the tapes, an unexpected bond forms: Chuck helps Dave process his grief over his late wife, while Dave offers Chuck the unconditional support he lacks at home. Their connection is tested by George's meddling and prejudice, ultimately leading Dave to sever ties with his old friend and embrace a profound personal transformation that redefines both of their lives.

FRUITCAKES: The Musical
Opening December 2027
Tickets - Coming Early 2027!
It’s Christmas in 1927 in Greenwich Village, and the only thing more tightly packed than the fruitcakes are the secrets! Rob and Tim are busy "playing house" in their cozy apartment, but the holiday peace is about to be shattered by an avalanche of overbearing mothers, eccentric uncles, and neighborly drama. Between a bold red davenport and some very pointed waltzing, these two bachelors must decide if they’re ready to stop hiding and finally serve up some truth. Grab a seat for this festive musical romp where the family ties are tangled, the romance is fiery, and the ending is much sweeter than a holiday dessert!
