Mary and Max the Musical: Music and lyrics by Bobby Cronin, book by Crystal Skillman. Adapted from the beloved 2011 Australian claymation film by Academy Award-winner Adam Elliot, Mary and Max melds a modern struggle between father and daughter with the story of two "weird and different" souls on two widely separated continents who, through the power of letter writing, become best friends. As the two worlds intertwine, the underlying story of Mary and Max is emotionally resonant and highly theatrical while exploring the ways we cope with life and with death.

Concrete Jungle: Music, book, and lyrics by Bobby Cronin with additional material by Crystal Skillman. This musical romantic comedy is a modern take on Cyrano and exemplifies the complexities people find themselves in when dealing with career, diversity, technology, dreams and ambition, all while trying to be true to yourself while looking for love in the big city. The show is a heartfelt, relevant, and contemporary new American musical that celebrates love, explores gender identity, and challenges the idea of what it takes to be successful in this dizzying digital world.

Rain and Zoe Save the World: Authored by Crystal Skillman featuring music by Bobby Cronin. Two teenagers tackle twin disasters, climate change and coming of age, when they embark on an impulsive motorcycle journey to join a group of oil protesters on the East Coast. As they follow a major pipeline across the country, what began as two young environmentalists' longing to belong to something greater than themselves gives way to Rain and Zoe discovering that the true danger in this world might just be growing up. https://www.rainandzoe.com/
