Summary:

The year is 2032. The campus is “raceless.” The resistance is just beginning. When the prestigious Prince Washington Institute launches a bold—and deeply controversial—social experiment to erase race from campus life, astrophysics major Destiny Maria Jones is just trying to find where she belongs. That search leads her to the nearly defunct Black Student Union, a once-thriving organization now hanging by a thread. But within its fading walls, Destiny finds something electrifying: purpose, power, and a legacy of resistance. As the campus pushes erasure, Destiny pushes back—fueling her fight with cosmic curiosity and radical self-discovery. Blending science and activism, Discovering Blackness is a powerful exploration of identity, belonging, and what it means to exist—fully and unapologetically—in a world desperate to make you invisible.

Summary:

What happens when Shakespeare collides with superheroes in the heart of New York City? Pure magical mayhem. In Rough Magic, characters from The Tempest are hurled into modern-day Manhattan in a high-stakes, spell-slinging adventure where the fate of the city hangs in the balance. The villain? Prospero—an exiled sorcerer hellbent on reclaiming his stolen book of magic, even if it means unleashing chaos and destroying the city. Standing in his way? A hilariously mismatched band of heroes: Melanie Porter, a sharp-tongued dramaturg who can pull characters out of plays; Caliban, Prospero’s muscle-bound (and slightly clueless) son; Tisiphone, a vengeful Fury with a flair for the dramatic; and Chet Baxter, a teenage lifeguard with more guts than sense. Think Harry Potter meets the X-Men, with a dash of Shakespearean swagger. The magic is real. The danger is epic. And the drama? Off the charts.

Summary:

Enter the dark, twisted streets of 19th-century London—where revenge is served piping hot. Sweeney Todd, a barber with a haunted past, returns from exile burning with vengeance against the corrupt judge who destroyed his life and stole his wife. But justice has a price—and blood will spill. Teaming up with the wickedly clever Mrs. Lovett, whose meat pie shop is circling the drain, Todd opens a barbershop upstairs with a sinister twist. As razors flash and bodies vanish, Mrs. Lovett’s business starts booming… thanks to a secret ingredient that has Londoners begging for more. But beware—this is only the beginning of the madness. The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is back… and his blades are hungry.

Sweeney Todd is presented through special arrangement with Musical Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are supplied by MTI. www.MTISHOWS.com
