Going Down Swingin'
NYMF production directed by Jenny Lord

Featuring performances by Jillian Louis, Arielle Doneson and
Reed Prescott
"A boozing, womanizing crooner is haunted by the misdeeds of
his past in this sexy and swingin' comedy, set at the end of radio's golden
age. It's 1956, and caddish crooner Dean
Newhouse's once-successful radio variety show is facing a dangerous new
foe...Television. As Dean struggles to
keep his show afloat, his bitter and double-crossed cast plots his come-uppance,
in this innovative and hysterical reinvention of the controversial classic Don
Giovanni!"
The Yellow Wood
NYMF production directed by Tony Award Winner B.D. Wong
Winner 2006 Richard Rodgers Award and Daryl Roth Award
With music by Danny Larsen, lyrics by Michelle Elliot and
Danny Larsen and book by Michelle Elliot

Levy and Maryann Hu
"The Yellow Wood
is a musical kaleidoscope where not-so-normal 17-year old Adam takes a
fantastic, unpredictable journey as he struggles to accept all the parts of
himself: his ADD, his Korean heritage
and his complex relationships with friends and family. The
Yellow Wood explores the angst, joy and highly imaginative state of one
teen's amazing brain."
