The Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens, and Count Leo Tolstoy: Discord

by: Scott Carter

Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens, and Count Leo Tolstoy all walk into a room. The last thing they remember was the moment they died, and now they’re all stuck in a room together. With limited information about each other, the three famed GOSPELISTS argue who was right about their theories about Jesus of Nazareth, the New Testament, and more, all the while hurling insults and quips at each other. Scott Carter’s dry-comedy depicts Jefferson, Dickens, and Tolstoy not as philosophers–but merely as men needing to be heard.

Once

Music and Lyrics by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova / Book by Enda Walsh

From the very first note, Once draws you in and never lets go. This emotionally captivating musical is the only show to have music that won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Olivier Award and a Tony Award.

On the streets of Dublin, an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant are drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and collaboration quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story, underscored by emotionally charged music.

The Importance of Being Earnest

The play finds two bachelors, John ‘Jack’ Worthing and Algernon ‘Algy’ Moncrieff, who create alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome lives. They attempt to win the hearts of two women who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest. The pair struggle to keep up with their own stories and become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and misadventure. The playwright, Oscar Wilde, grew famous and infamous for his ridicule of Victorian sensibilities in this hilarious comedy of manners.
