A Beautiful Noise – The Neil Diamond Musical
A Beautiful Noise is a jukebox musical that imagines present-day Diamond looking back on his history.
GRIMM | Shake & Stir Theatre Co
Spells, rules and the fourth wall are consistently broken in this chaotic retelling of some of the Grimm Brother’s most famous fairy tales.
