CATS the Musical is a beloved stage production composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, based on T.S. Eliot's whimsical collection Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. The story unfolds on the night of the Jellicle Ball, when a tribe of cats known as the Jellicles gather under the moonlight to celebrate and decide which one of them will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a new life. Each cat steps forward to share their tale—from the mischievous Rum Tum Tugger, the magical Mr. Mistoffelees, and the wise Old Deuteronomy, to the once-glamorous but now faded Grizabella, who delivers the show’s iconic anthem, "Memory." Known for its poetic lyrics, vibrant choreography, and elaborate costumes that transform actors into lifelike felines, CATS is a theatrical experience that combines spectacle, soul, and song in a celebration of individuality, acceptance, and the mystery of life.

When the Governor of a small state gets thrown out of office, the Lieutenant Governor- Ned Newley- has to take over. The only problem is Ned is petrified to speak to the public.

The Old Fart Plays is a collection of one-act plays that focus on characters of "a certain age" or beyond. Rather than a lugubrious concentration on theme, the plays deal---in one way or another---with the various challenges of aging but are mindful of plot, character and humor. If there is an overarching theme, it may be found in the words of E.E. Cummings: "love is the every only god." Together, the pieces could make a fine evening's showcase for a theatre company's mature performers.
