Trouble in Tahiti portrays the American Dream gone awry, as the perfect couple in the perfect house of the perfect suburb are unable to communicate with one another, while a jazzy trio cheerfully comments on the delights of suburban living.
In the sardonic Casino Paradise a sleepy seaside town falls prey to an unscrupulous gangster and his casino while his hilariously dysfunctional children worry about their own adjustment problems.
Sizzling music and singing that moves from jazz to Broadway to opera with panache: not to be missed!

Fab songs from the Fabulous Forties tell Swingtime’s story of showbiz, war and discrimination. Six iconic entertainers reunite in New York— where one of them headlines a popular radio show—and face career and identity dilemmas. Like the world after World War II, American swing music reconstructs into new forms, from Be-Bop to Rock and Roll.
“Mallan’s book is imaginative, and Broadway, movie, and TV fans will immediately recognize the probable prototypes of his characters... The music itself [is] the high point of this show... remarkable.” www.washingtontimes.com

In the Cuban zarzuela (operetta) María la O, a white plantation owner must choose between the mulatta he loves and the aristocratic woman he’s expected to marry. Our Maria is a nightclub star in Havana while Lecuona’s irresistible music dances around the ‘operatic’ story of love, betrayal, and death.
In the justly world-famous Pagliacci, a troupe of entertainers comes to a village where their show intertwines tragically with real life. Nothing could be more poignant than the singing of Canio, the clown—destined to make the world laugh while he is at the brink of self-destruction.
Director Joe Banno
Music Director Carlos César Rodríguez
María la O Anamer Castrello
Canio Peter Burroughs
English adaptations:
For María la O Karen Zacarias
For Pagliacci Kelley Rourke

In the late 20th century, singer/song-writers like Chilean Violeta Parra, Argentinean Atahualpa Yupanqui, Cuban Silvio Rodriguez, Americans Bob Dylan and Joan Baez served as outspoken ambassadors for social progress: their work is just as meaningful today.
