The Glorious Ones
by Ahrens and Flaherty(writers of Ragtime. Once on This Island, and Seussical)

The Glorious Ones is a backstage musical about the lives, loves, ambitions, and art of the performers in a 16th-century commedia dell'arte troupe in Italy.  Based on a novel, the musical tells the story of each of The Players and how they won adoration with bawdy comedy, while often longing for more.  This musical represents the BoHo value of Love.

I Am My Own Wife
by Doug Wright

Based on a true story, I Am My Own Wife tells (through the talents of one actor) the fascinating tale of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a real-life German transvestite who managed to survive both the Nazi onslaught and the repressive East German Communist regime.  This drama represents the BoHo value of Freedom.

Hello Again
by Michael John LaChiusa

Ten characters pair up in ten different scenes of sexual pleasure and/or despair.  One character from each scene moves on to the next, seemingly dumping his old partner in favor of new prey.  It begins with a prostitute soliciting an unwilling soldier, circling from the 30's to the present, ending where the story began. This musical represents the BoHo value of Beauty.

Ghosts
by Henrik Ibsen -a new translation by Lanford Wilson

Ibsen rocked society with Ghosts, once called "one of the filthiest things ever written."  Audiences proved more receptive to Ghosts than the literati.  In his new translation, Wilson has revivied Ghosts for a new audience, as we too continue to confront the specter of promiscuity, incest, and sexual disease.  This drama represents the BoHo value of Truth.
