Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street
(World Premiere of the School Edition)
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Hugh Wheeler

In this rare instance of a musical thriller, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s chilling,
suspenseful, heart-pounding masterpiece of murderous barberism and culinary crime
tells the infamous tale of the unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th century London
seeking revenge against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife.
His thirst for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate customers.  Meanwhile, Mrs. Lovett,
the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs, soon has the people of London
lining up in droves with her mysterious new meat pie recipe!

This world premiere of the school edition is presented in conjunction with Music Theatre International,
and is an entry into the Thespian Festival 2008 Mainstage Productions.

This sensational study of the killing of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and
Supervisor Harvey Milk, a gay activist, takes place during the trial and uses the actual words of
participants in the controversial case. This compelling play focuses on why Dan White
committed the crimes and why the jury chose to convict him of voluntary manslaughter,
not murder.  In the tradition of The Laramie Project, Execution of Justice
examines not only what happened, but also helps us to see into the
human nature of those involved in this remarkable experience.

Studio Series

The Studio Series focuses on the actor and the idea. 
This allows student actors to explore acting techniques and dramatic literature
that provide special challenges or are out of the mainstream of
popular theatre fare, without worry about box office receipts,
the pressure of large crowds or the compromise of literature or technique.

The Studio Series provides audience members with
something unique and daring, that stretches the idea of
high school educational theatre into a form that challenges theatre tradition and convention. 
This form is constantly reinventing itself, but at its core lies the idea
that the fundamentally important aspect of live theatre is

the connection between actor, audience and play.


October 11, 12, 13, 18, 19 and 20




In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt, the beleaguered Turpin family
proves that living and dying in the South are seldom tidy and always hilarious.
Despite their earnest efforts to pull themselves together for their father's funeral,
the Turpin's other problems keep overshadowing the solemn occasion:
Firstborn Ray-Bud drinks himself silly as the funeral bills mount;
Junior, the younger son, is juggling financial ruin, a pack of no-neck monster kids,
and a wife who suspects him of infidelity in the family car;
their spinster sister, Delightful, copes with death as she does life,
by devouring junk food; and all the neighbors add more than two cents. 
Amidst the chaos, the Turpins turn for comfort to their friends and neighbors,
an eccentric community of misfits who just manage to pull together and
help each other through their hours of need, and finally, the funeral.

This is a powerful, true drama of six women who went to Viet Nam:
five nurses and a country western singer booked by an unscrupulous agent to entertain the troops.
The play takes us through the experiences of these courageous womens’
roles in the war, and ends at the Vietnam War Memorial. 

This production is a moving portrait of the strength of these
remarkable women, as well as a strong endictment
of the injustices and tragedies of war without a firm cause.
