Ken Ludwig’s Moriarty:
A New Sherlock Holmes Adventure
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are back on the case! An investigation into the Bohemian king’s stolen letters cascades into an international mystery filled with spies, blackmail and intrigue. With world peace at stake, Holmes and Watson join forces with American actress Irene Adler to take down cunning criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty and his network of devious henchmen. Five actors play over 40 roles in this adventure that has more danger, more laughter, more romance, and more mystery than our smash hit production of Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville.

The Boyfriend Project
Book by James Rayfield
Music by Terry Farley
Five teen girls like their boyfriends — except for one thing: they like country music, the way they dress, their childish antics, their lack of commitment, and their flirting with every girl who comes by. What are these girls to do? They all set out to change their boyfriends for the better. But can you really change somebody? The answers the girls get are not always what they want to hear.
ThinkTank and freeFall once again partner on this exciting developmental project for youth theatre. Award-winning playwright James Rayfield adapts his popular play for young performers for the musical stage with a new, energetic score by composer Terry Farley.
See this workshop of a new musical intended to be performed in the high school setting by young performers as it is prepared for its upcoming publication.

Fruit Flies Like A Banana
Presented by The Fourth Wall
The Fourth Wall puts a vaudevillian twist on classical chamber music with their one-of-a-kind variety show, Fruit Flies Like a Banana. Chopin on hoverboards, Satie performed while hanging upside down, Joplin on plastic boomwhacker tubes, and tangos where the musicians are also the dancers! The audience chooses the order of over 20 pieces specially chosen for each show in this fast-paced hybrid arts experience that’s a fan favorite across North America.
Few musical ensembles earn top marks for their “deft choreography,” (The Wall Street Journal) but this is no ordinary ensemble. Part chamber music group, part theatre company, part modern dance troupe, part circus act, The Fourth Wall blends music, theatre, dance, and acrobatics into a new hybrid art form. This trio of musicians creates new interdisciplinary works and reinterprets classic repertoire to make music that leaps off the stage.

Matt & Ben
Starring Georgia Mallory Guy and Julia Rifino
From the mind of multi-award winning writer and actress Mindy Kaling, Matt & Ben depicts its Hollywood golden boys – before J-Lo, before Gwyneth, before Project Greenlight, before Oscar… before anyone actually gave a good gosh darn. When the screenplay for Good Will Hunting drops mysteriously from the heavens, the boys realize they’re being tested by a Higher Power. Originally performed by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers in the title roles, Matt & Ben is a hilarious satire on the real and imagined difficulties of pursuing a dream.
Written by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers

From the writing team that brought us Assassins and Pacific Overtures – Road Show is based on the true story of the Mizner Brothers. From the Alaskan Gold Rush in the 1890s to the Florida real estate boom in the 1920s, Road Show is the story of men and women in late nineteenth century America, willing to take risks to grab their piece of the American Dream. Spanning 40 years, Addison and Wilson Mizner are constantly looking for the next way to strike it rich. This quest turns into a test of morality and judgment for the two brothers that will change their lives in unexpected ways.
