Way Back When a Musical Fairy Tale


War has broken out over the death of a patriarch. One brother, taking his lead from the biblical story of Esau and Jacob, steals his brother’s birthright and the kingdom is split in two. Thus begins Way Back When (The tale of the Clown from Pollis Minor.)

At the start we meet Clown a court jester from the old kingdom of Pollis before it was split in two. He now rides back and forth between the two opposing kingdoms trying to mend what was once whole. Only cunning, skill and outright manipulation of men, their hearts and God can make that happen and Clown is the person for it.

With the end of the war his catalyst, and the love of two young lovers as his guide, he forges forth to uncover a most incredible secret, that if revealed would have dire consequence for both kingdoms!

Bridget's Girl"2008 Winner - Musical" Chameleon Theatre Circle's Tenth Annual New Play Contest!

Bridget trying to get started on her sculpture.  A skylight illuminates a wire structure roughly the size of a very tall female with arms reaching up standing in the middle of her studio, but every time she begins to work, something interferes.  A memory pops into her head; something one of her parents said makes her lose confidence; she gets a call about her daughter, Marie, ditching school again, or Richard, her husband, interrupts her to express his frustration with work.  Then there’s the sexy painter down the hall, Jimmy, suggesting new possibilities and causing even more distraction.


In the past, Bridget got caught up in using her art to express her feelings about the whole gender thing.  There were the giant household appliances, the reptiles with human faces, the Medusa-like figure devouring the ram, but none of that work was taken seriously.  Her plan now is to make a sculpture in the Classical style, of the wood nymph, Daphne, transformed into a tree by her father to protect her from the advances of Apollo.  Marie still thinks this one is about being angry at men and wonders how her mother can make something beautiful when she’s angry.

This Time and Age

Cyrus has been searching for his father since his disappearance years earlier. One day a mysterious book arrives at his home. Soon he and his sister, Satrina, discover a very cryptic message from their father hidden in the lining of the book.

Satrina wants nothing to do with it. But the message is simple. The book, with 144,000 names and each person’s genetic signature is to be returned to God. No small order as the world, now in turmoil and constant upheaval struggles to deal with esculating war in the middle east, new financial markets and Satan himself in hot pursuit after the one thing that could destroy God's plan for mankind, "The Book of the Sealed."

 

Based on the Books of Daniel and Revelation “This Time and Age” takes an ambitious look at the destiny of mankind through the lens of a Judeo-Christian perspective and weaves a tale of intrigue, anchored by one of the Bibles most mysterious characters, Melchizedek.

This is the story of one man's search for the truth, who without knowledge will reveal a mystery, fulfill his end and help defeat the ancient enemy.
