Nuts

TNECT 2023 DIRECTOR'S CHOICE
A Broadway hit, Nuts has been called the best courtroom melodrama since Witness for the Prosecution and The Caine Mutiny Court Martial. Set in a courtroom in New York's Bellevue Hospital, the story follows a high-priced call girl incarcerated on a charge for killing a violent "john". The State, represented by a court-appointed psychiatrist and an aggressive prosecutor, says Claudia Faith Draper is unfit to stand trial. As testimony from experts, physicians, and her parents unfolds, with her psyche and childhood dissected, she proves to the judge that she isn't "nuts" and stands legally sane at trial for manslaughter.

A Chorus Line

A Chorus Line is a stunning musical-vérité capturing the spirit and tension of seventeen dancers as they audition for spots in the chorus line of a Broadway musical. This groundbreaking, Pulitzer Prize-winning concept musical provides a glimpse into the personalities, inner lives and bittersweet ambitions of the performers and the choreographer as they describe the events that have shaped their lives and their decisions to become dancers and is based on real Broadway dancers’ stories, as told to fellow dancer and choreographer Michael Bennett. The show features one powerhouse number after another. Memorable musical numbers include "What I Did for Love, "One," "I Can Do That," "At the Ballet," "The Music and the Mirror," and "I Hope I Get It." This brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance, and compellingly authentic drama is funny, heartbreaking, and refreshingly honest.
