The Satyrs: an epic rock band comprised of shirtless goat men, desperate only for a drink and a shag. The Cyclops: a one-eyed, flesh-hungry monster - with a dash of Freddie Mercury. Odysseus: a weary soldier, with ukulele, just trying to get home. Put them all in a cave and you get Cyclops, hailed as a "thrilling freak show" (LA Times), and "genius" (NPR). A "proud cousin" to Hedwig, it is guaranteed to melt your face off.

Book by Keythe Farley
Music by Lori Scarlett and John Ballinger
Lyrics by Lori Scarlett
Lars is the lead singer of the successful indie band Mark Twain'S MOUSTACHE, but when he falls in love with spitfire Josie Harvey, he gets more than he bargained for. Sure, f-ing Hipsters! is a musical about a bunch of "navel-gazing, skinny jean-wearing, self-consciously quirky consumers of obscure indie rock," but it's also about trying to carve out a sense of Love and Community in a world where everyone is too busy looking out for their own self-interest. Fuck On! Ghostlight
Book, Music and Lyrics by Matthew Martin and Tim Realbuto
According to backstage lore, the ghost of a Ziegfeld Follies star haunts the New Amsterdam Theatre. Ghostlight excavates the true story of Olive Thomas, a small-town girl who rises to headlines alongside Fanny Brice. Seduced by the decadent world of the theater, Olive stumbles into a secret affair, an unfulfilling Hollywood marriage, and a downward spiral into drugs and alcohol. An homage to Broadway's Golden Age, Ghostlight captures the glamorous and tragic lives of those who changed the face of the American musical forever.

Kissless's score bounces from pop to rock to traditional Broadway to country ... with a little Glee glitter on top.
