THE ROARING GIRL
This is the true story of an amazing woman: Mary Frith. She crossed Elizabethan, Jacobean and Restoration boundaries, famously stating: “ When I die let them bury me with my feet facing heaven so that I may be as preposterous in death as I was in life!”
SAYS IT ALL! Historically accurate, serious, comedic, choreographic
and highly theatrical.

HELLKATZ:
We all know the stories about Backbeard and Jack Sparrow, much less known ( of course! ) the deeds of Anne Bonny and Mary Read two of the fiercest pirates to sail the Carribean. This is a true tale with some embellishment that records the exploits of Bonny and Read and the extraordinary coincidence that brought them face to face on board Calico Jack's ship….. a rollicking piratical adventure.

EXPELLED!
Jeremy: Tempting as it is to get right to the happy ending, we should really begin at the beginning because as we all know, the journey is often much more interesting than the destination and life’s invaluable lessons, of which there are many, are not learned overnight.
I was born. (baby cries) My father was a piano tuner by trade and he listened intently.
Father: No… no… no… definitely not.
Mother: Is there a problem dear.
Father: Yes, I’m afraid there is.
Jeremy: He said with a frown spreading across his face.
Father: He’s definitely mine, you’re certain?
Mother: Yes dear.
Jeremy: My father’s frown widened.
Mother: Is there something wrong dear.
Father: I should say there is, can you not hear it?
Mother: No, he’s crying but that’s normal enough, babies cry dear. If it concerns you, why don’t you move to the back room for a while. You’ll get an uninterrupted night’s sleep there.
Father: It’s not the sleep, it’s the pitch and the tone, in particular the pitch.
Mother: The pitch dear?
Father: Far from perfect… I was rather hoping for something more melliferous
Mother: Melliferous?
JEREMY'S journey from reluctant student to rock star!
