Treeson
Music & Lyrics by G. Victoria Campbell, PhD, Book by G. Victoria Campbell & Andrew Coopman, Arrangements by Joseph Purdue
In the present-day, moody, Pacific Northwest, people go about their day like every other day, unaware of the environmental tragedies occurring around them. While some fight for the trees, others have come to accept there is no changing the status quo. Ash, heir to a logging empire, is at the center of it all and for them, life is easy. But when they are suddenly confronted with a life-changing decision, they are forced to reflect on their purpose in life: remain loyal to the firm, join the activists, or--carve a new path of their own. As Terra, the activists, and a mysterious, otherworldly chorus of elements guide them, they contemplate what their legacy will be. Tensions rise between the loggers and activists, local and global needs, and the present and future in this love story between humanity and Earth. Ash’s journey unfolds via a soaring soundtrack blending indigenous, Western and folk music, resulting in an Americana story which demonstrates how we each have the power to act to save the world. The question is… Will you play your part before it’s too late?

Polly the Musical is a musical adaptation of Eleanor H. Porter's novel Pollyanna. It is stylized in the 1950s.The action takes place in the fictional town of Harrington, NY. Polly Whittier is an eleven-year-old orphan girl who has been taught to always find something to be glad about, even in the worst of circumstances. Following the death of her father, Polly is sent to live with her closest living relative, her late mother's sister, and a woman whom she has never met. Miss Polly Harrington. Polly Harrington is a wealthy woman who has a reputation for being cold. She agrees to take care of Polly because she prides herself on always doing what is morally right. She does not, however, take any joy in the idea of allowing a child to come into her house or her life. She initially does very little to make her niece feel welcome or comfortable in her new home. Polly, however, always sees the best in everybody and cannot help loving her Aunt Polly from the start. Polly's cheerfulness and her desire to make everybody around her as happy as possible has a positive impact on all of the people with whom she comes into into contact.
The Door
Book, Music & Lyrics by Elle Tyler
Everything on the island of Jessa seems perfect. Everyone has exactly what they need, living in harmony with the earth and each other…or so it seems. Under the surface of perfection, Jessa is beginning to decay. The sea is growing cloudy, and the stars are starting to dim. The only hope for help lies through a mysterious Door that few know of and no one is able to open. No one, that is, except the two beings on Jessa who have magical powers. One, a young dreamer who longs for adventure; the other, the island’s aged outcast, banished to the edge of the world for a crime few remember. The two form an unlikely pairing as they seek to save-or destroy-Jessa forever.
