"I can't change, even if I tried, even if I wanted to." This show highlights the unfortunate fact that bullying continues to be a problem, and only continues to get worse as it has become even more difficult for victims to escape the menacing of bullies. Using the song "Same Love" by Macklemore as the musical material, this show presents a sobering, but in the end uplifting vignette of this ongoing societal issue.

Copyright permissions for "Same Love" by Macklemore will have to be secured before show can be licensed.

Into The Deep (World Class)

This show is a simple yet epic representation of a few iconic elements that people tend to think of when heros come to mind. The goal was to try and avoid some of the common, and "it's been done" elements that find their way into modern productions. Focusing more on moods and simple concepts, this musical package could provide you with a great starting point for a rebranded, epic concept.

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, when asked, “What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the universe?” gave a most astounding answer. Recognizing that we are made of the same elements that swirled around from the beginning of the universe, Tyson feels a deep connection to all that is out there. Using the text from Tyson’s interview with TIME Magazine, and well-known music from the Planets, this show explores what Tyson and others consider to be The Most Astounding Fact.
