The Murder Room
NYCA Adult Repertory Company
Mystery Comedy
By Jack Sharkey
THE MURDER ROOM is a zany spoof of British
mysteries. There are secret chambers, panels and trap lids galore
that are operated by ridiculous contrivances - a grand mixture of
Agatha Christie, Monty Python and Abbott and Costello. The quick,
smart, well-timed dialogue, combined with hilarious situations and
physical antics, make this high, mad melodrama a fun night at the
theater. Guaranteed to provide many laughs!

Babes in Toyland
NYCA Theatre Company
Family Holiday Musical
Book
by Rebecca Ryland
Music
and Lyrics by Bill Francoeur
With
new, fresh music, this classic tale comes alive as the villainous
Barnaby falls in love with sweet Mistress Mary Quite Contrary. If he
can't buy her love, then he'll force her to marry him by threatening
to foreclose on her mother, the poor Widow Piper. Mary already has
her heart set on marrying Barnaby's nephew Alan—but not if Barnaby
can help it! He hires two bumbling ruffians to do away with Alan,
but Alan returns to Mother Goose Land amidst much rejoicing. Mary
journeys to the mysterious Toyland through the dangerous Spider
Forest. But wait! Barnaby hasn't given up, and he herds the whole
gang of Mother Goose Land characters to Toyland in pursuit of Mary.
There we encounter the magical mystery of Toyland as we meet the
Master Toymaker and his quirky assistants Grumio and Marmaduke.

Fame The Musical
NYCA Repertory & Theatre Company
Pop / Rock Musical
Book by David De Silva and José Fernandez
Music by Steve Margoshes
Lyrics by Jacques Levy
Conceived and Developed by David De Silva
It is nothing short of a global phenomenon. First came the hit
motion picture, then the long-running television series. Now the
screen sensation of the 1980's is the stage sensation of the 1990's
and the 2009 Film once more along with the recent smash-hit West End
production; a musical that is indeed "gonna live forever."
Set during the last years of New York City's celebrated High School
for the Performing Arts on 46th Street (1980-1984), "Fame-The
Musical" is bittersweet but ultimately inspiring story of a diverse
group of students as they commit to four years of grueling artistic
and academic work. With candor, humor and insight, the show explores
the issues that confront many young people today: issues of
identity, self-worth, literacy, coming of age and perseverance.

The Jungle Book
NYCA Theatre for Children by Children Company
Drama/Childrens’ Theatre
By Vera Morris
Come hear the incredible tale of Mowgli, a young
boy raised by wolves. With the help of his friend, the bear Baloo,
the panther Bagheera and the python Kaaï, Mowgli learns the ways of
the jungle. Some of the jungle boy's adventures are gripping, like
the time he encounters the hooded cobra who guards the treasure
vault in the Deserted City. Others, like the coconut-tossing monkeys
who take him prisoner, are hysterical. But the jungle is also
dangerous, for it is the home of Shere Khan, the man-eating tiger
who has vowed to destroy Mowgli. With his fawning jackal follower,
Shere Khan plots to take control of the jungle. Mowgli must use all
his strength and courage to stop Shere Khan before it is too late.
This faithful adaptation will enchant all.
