A New Musical by CCU Senior Bryan Robinson
The stories that we have make us who we are. In the same way, the way we tell our stories also tells a lot about who we are. Tell Me, a new musical by CCU Senior Musical Theatre Major Bryan Robinson, is an exploration of stories and storytelling. This song cycle follows six people, and depicts instances in their lives that make them who they are. This is the first of many musicals to come from Coastal Carolina Senior Bryan Robinson. Some adult language. |

Book by: Willie Reale
Lyrics by: Willie Reale
Music by: Robert Reale
Based on the books by Arnold Lobel
Arnold Lobel's well-loved characters hop from the page to the stage in Robert and Willie Reale's musical, A Year With Frog And Toad. Conceived by Mr. Lobel's daughter, Adrianne Lobel, A Year With Frog And Toad remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. After waking from hibernation in the spring, they plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.
A score that bubbles with melody and wit, its jazzy, upbeat sound is a perfect match for the hopping, crawling and flying denizens that inhabit Frog and Toad's world. Featuring a small cast that doubles in several roles, and simple, suggestive costumes and staging, A Year With Frog And Toad is a perfect show for an ensemble group of actors. Its clever book and lyrics and snazzy music can serve as a great introduction to theatre for youngsters, while keeping adults entertained as well.
A new show, destined to become a classic, A Year With Frog And Toad is inventive, exuberant and totally enchanting. |

Originally conceived by Director Paoli Lacy and Kenneth J. Martin
Angry Gods and Lost Marbles is an original clown play that follows the close relationship of two clowns forever altered when capricious gods attack, forcing one clown to lose her marbles and become suicidal.
When the gods tap our hero on the noggin, and he loses his marbles, the search for sanity (their marbles) for him and his friend begins. Along the way they will encounter overwhelming demons, devils, guardian angels, angry gods and goddesses and maybe some other strange creatures. The fragility of the human mind, the precarious balance between sanity and illness, and the costs of compromise thought to be necessary will all be a part of this darkly comic play. Careening through the tragic, comic costs of illness, both clowns search for a ridiculously precarious balance in this very physical comedy. Inspired by the journey of a real life manic-depressive clown. |

Written by Neil LaBute
Fat Pig is a bitingly funny modern romance by playwright Neil LaBute. In a culture obsessed with beauty, can love ever be blind? Tom feels a magnetic attraction for the bright and witty Helen, but his coworkers are committed to saving him from himself. A brutally comic and painfully honest new work by the creator of The Shape of Things and bash: latterday plays. |
