A true story of love, loss, family loyalty, and the redemptive power of music. Following award-winning and sold out runs in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, London, and Off-Broadway, writer/performer Benjamin Scheuer shares his gripping coming-of-age musical journey from boyhood to manhood, through pain and healing. The Lion is a candid, poignant, and charming new solo musical from a next-generation troubadour.

According to Nowak family legend, there was a miracle on South Division Street sixty years ago when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in the family’s barbershop on Buffalo’s East Side. Since then, the neighborhood has looked upon the Nowak’s 20-foot commemorative shrine as a beacon of hope and faith. But now, the family’s faith is shaken when a deathbed confession threatens to change everything. A heartfelt and hilarious family comedy from the author of Over the Tavern.

The familiar tale of gods and goddesses, undying love and endless battles blends with contemporary stories of war and revenge in this captivating retelling of Homer’s epic classic. The lone Poet has told this story for centuries, conjuring the heroes and battles of different cultures and eras. Now in the shadow of war in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, he recounts a sweeping and unforgettable story of human loss and folly that resonates across three millennia.
Written by Lisa Peterson and Denis O’HareBased on Homer’s The Iliad, translated by Robert Fagles

The jaded James Tyrone is on the edge of despair, and the fiercely passionate Josie Hogan is lonely beyond endurance. But on this night, when they meet on a barren patch of earth in the glow of an autumn moon, hope sparks between them. In this bittersweet elegy, two wounded hearts experience the power of redemption – and the saving grace of love. It is a stark look at humanity in its basest and loveliest form by four-time Pulitzer Prize and America’s only Nobel Prize-winning playwright, Eugene O’Neill.

Two lonely souls embark on a relationship filled with surprising discoveries. A high-functioning young man with Asperger’s Syndrome seeks the instruction of a Broadway dancer, now sidelined with injuries. As their relationship unfolds, they’re caught off-guard by the unexpected revelations – both hilarious and heartwarming – that they make about each other. A new romantic comedy from the author of Freud’s Last Session about an unlikely relationship and the healing power of love.

FUN, FRESH OFFICE COMEDY
Everyone who graduated from the Kingston NY High School Class of ’97 wonders what happened to their revered May Queen. Some say she became one of Spitzer’s hookers; others say she married a sheik in Dubai – but when she suddenly resurfaces in town and starts temping at a small insurance agency, things are a far cry from what they expected. Gossip kicks into high gear among these classmates, turned co-workers, in this fun, fresh and savvy new office comedy with a gigantic heart.
