Turn On Your Love Light:
The Music of Don Robey
TURN ON YOUR LOVE LIGHT is a Mid-20th Century Jukebox musical with iconic hits from Don Robey. Set in 1940s Houston, we spend an evening with members of the “Peacock Club” - based on Don Robey’s very own dinner club - as they navigate life, love, music, mistakes, and racial tensions in the segregated South. The lead producing team of TURN ON YOUR LOVE LIGHT cannot wait to champion the legacy of Don Robey, and bring this phenomenal work to Broadway and a theater near you.

Mae West Has Sex!
In the late 1920's, Mae West was the talk of New York City. A one-woman production unit - Mae wrote, produced, directed, and starred in the most controversial works on Broadway of the time. Before Hollywood fame, Mae navigated identity, love, loss, grief, success, censorship, power, punishment, and even a stint in jail. Join us for a celebration of the early 20th Century, where Mae championed and commercialized the underbelly. MAE WEST HAS SEX! explores the making of Mae West as we know her.
