Staged reading of a frightening musical comedy based on the macabre writings of E.T.A. Hoffmann (THE NUTCRACKER). When the family of an ingenious German clockmaker engages a new nanny to care for the children, a series of bizarre and unnatural events begins to unfold. As the Strauss family is thrust ever deeper into ch aos, the sinister forces at play are revealed – forces from which only the children may be able to save them.

Twenty-eight year old Nick, an Italian single guy from New Jersey, gets the professional career offer of a lifetime … on the opposite coast from his family. Nick’s traditional Italian grandparents, Frank and Aida and Nunzio and Emma, do their level best to keep their beloved grandson home with them on the East Coast, while a job as a marketing executive calls him to Seattle. Will Nick abandon family to pursue a glamorous and exciting career move, the opportunity he has hoped for? His grandparents wonder if he would stay in New Jersey if he fell in love with a hometown girl. And so the lovely — and single — Caitlin O’Hare is brought in as bait. But will their scheme work?

A funny farce that takes place in the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt. The beleaguered Turpin family proves that living and dying in the South are seldom tidy and always hilarious. When Bud Turpin, the patriarch of the family, drops dead at the breakfast table, it starts a series of events that are both endearing and downright funny.

JUST BEYOND REACH runs Sept. 27-29

JUST BEYOND REACH
Presented by Shark Eat Muffin Theatre Company
Sept. 27-29

A creative and collaborative night of short plays. Various themes were suggested on the company Facebook page and one was drawn at random. That theme was JUST BEYOND REACH and it allowed three very different but local playwrights to let their creativity thrive. Two months later the writers have created three short scripts all based around the interpretation of that theme.
