"FROG KISS"
An Unlikely Musical Romance
Book and Lyrics by Charles Liepart; Music by Eric Schorr
An adult twist on the classic fairy tale of the Princess and the Frog. The princess must marry, but no suitor suits her. However, she finds the "yang" to her "yin" in a talking frog. Although they try the age-old method of turning him into a prince with a kiss, it doesn't work, and the zany kingdom unites as they try to free the prince of his affliction.

"MACCABEAT!"
Music by Harvey Shield, Lyrics by Richard Jarboe and Chyim Ben Za'ayev Book by Ben Za'ayev; From a story by M. Edelman; Based on portions of the 1st book of Maccabees (Apocrypha)
A pop musical take on the Biblical story of Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. Judah Maccabee and hisbrothers sing doo-wop, chase girls and try to remain true to their faith and traditions in a world where it's cool to be Greek. When Judah and the lovely Allura, a "heathen", fall for each other, two very different cultures are foced to confront and learn from one another. It may not have happened quite this way, but hey, you never know.
