ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY
Book and Lyrics by Judith Viorst
Music by Shelly Markham

​
October/November 222

Production Photos
Alexander is having a bad day. A terrible day. A horrible day. From waking up with gum in his hair to realizing that his mom forgot to pack dessert. From lima beans for dinner to kissing on tv, it’s just a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Judith Viorst, author of the hugely popular children’s book, provides her own adaptation for this delightful musical that proves that bad days happen to everyone… even in Australia.

​ Performed by students ages 8-13.

[title of show]
Music and Lyrics by Jeff Bowen
Book by Hunter Bell

October/November 2022

Production Photos
Four nobodies in New York lead the audience through their sometimes invigorating, sometimes aggravating journey of writing and producing an original musical—this musical. With a witty, energetic score and a Tony-nominated book, [title of show] approaches the creative process with honesty and humor. Lots of humor. Its quirky story, told through songs like “Die Vampire, Die!” and “Monkeys and Playbills,” is certain to charm fans of musical theatre as well as anyone who has ever just wanted to create something.
