RAPunzel:
​A Hip Hop Musical

Book by Richard Gremel
Music and Lyrics by Richard Gremel
and Connor Griffin
It’s the typical story of boy meets girl.  Only this girl was kidnapped as an infant, locked away in a tall tower, and forced to grow her hair long so her evil step-mother can climb in and out of the tower. Love blossoms when a prince stumbles across Rapunzel in her tower.  But if the evil stepmother has anything to say about it, this love will not succeed. Come see this classic story of Rapunzel reimagined as a classic hip-hop musical which includes 13 original hip-hop songs.  


Rockin' Cinderella

​Book, Music, and Lyrics by Richard Gremel
It’s the 1950’s, a time of malt shops, poodle skirts, and sock hops. Now throw in the classic story of Cinderella, and you’re bound to have a rockin’ good time. When the Burger Palace King decides to throw a sock hop, in hopes of finding a girl for his lonely son, everyone in town is getting excited for the event, including Cinderella and her two step-sisters. But when Cinderella isn’t able to go, it’s up to her Fairy Godfather to come to the rescue. And when the clock strikes midnight and Cinderella runs off, leaving just a shoe behind, it is up to the Burger Palace Prince to find the love of his life. Come jump, jive, and wail to this Rock N’ Roll take on a classic story.

Tall Tales: Legends of America

Book by Richard Gremel. 
Original Music by David Ragland and Richard Gremel.  
Traditional Music adapted by
​David Ragland and Richard Gremel
This theatrical storytelling experience centers around the tall tales of Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, and John Henry. Five storytellers help to navigate these tales using movement, puppetry, shadow work, and traditional and original folk songs. These tales have been beautifully crafted to hit on the heart of the legendary characters and put forth the morals that we should be willing to lend a helping hand, we should be brave and strong and stand up for our fellow people, and we should show determination and always set our sights high.
