The Bomb-itty
of Errors
by Jordan Allen-Dutton, Jason Catalano, Gregory J. Qaiyum, Jeffrey Qaiyum, Erik Weiner
Directed by Mr. Mozes
Performed in the Studio Theatre this past August
The Bomb-itty of Errors is a fast-paced, energetic, musical "add-rap-tation" of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. Elizabethan times get pumped up with live hip-hop flavor in this hilarious, award-winning show. A comedy about two sets of twins looking for their missing connection, BOMB-ITTY is a modern retelling of this classic play.
This play is intended for people age 13 and above. It contains mild language and crude humor.
IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE
by Sinclair Lewis
Adapted by
Tony Taccone and Bennet Cohen
Directed by Mr. Mozes
Performed in the Clarence Johnson Auditorium this past October
What happens when an elected president becomes a dictator? In a world of economic distress, the brink of a recession, curtailing of women’s and minorities’ rights, increased nationalism, and racism, Sinclair Lewis’ dark satire written in 1935 presents a dark cautionary tale to the American people. This play explores the what if and what could be. Dark, dramatic, with moments of comedy and clarity, this play is a piece of history worth re-examining today.

CHICAGO
teen edition
Directed by Mr. Mozes
Performed in the Clarence Johnson Auditorium this past March
This jazzy musical is set during the 1920s and tells the satirical story of two vaudevillian murderesses. Nightclub sensation Velma Kelly and our not-so-innocent Roxie Hart land themselves in prison for murder and are both going to be represented by Chicago’s slickest lawyer, Billy Flynn. Neither of the women are willing to back down in their fight for fame and fortune. Through jazz, vaudeville, and dance, Chicago explores how far people will go to come out on top.
