You Gave Me A sheep

Book & Lyrics by Lauren Taslitz
Music by Emily Chiu

When Princess Cosabella, a Weaver, and Prince Roy, a Herder, are married, they promise their fathers that, after a brief honeymoon on Earth, they will return to their jobs in The Kingdom of the Stars. But newlyweds will forget and Kings will punish. Will Cosabella and Roys’ love withstand the test, and will the rest of the universe survive? You Gave Me A Sheep considers whether, even in a fairy tale, true love has its limits.

Book & Lyrics by Ellen Johnston
Music by Emily Chiu

Two best friends, Jackie, experienced hitchhiker who may-or-may-not be the love child of Bob Dylan, and Akshaya, whose only experience with hitchhiking is her obsession with Douglas Adam’s Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, travel across America without a car. They try to hitchhike out of New Orleans and get picked up by a local named Zookeeper, who takes them on an unwanted detour around the Bayou. Based on a true story.

Lydia

Book & Lyrics by Brooke Magalis
Book & Music by Emily Chiu

Craven is in the ice-cream-and-Telemundo stage of a breakup. His roommate drags him out of the house to a magical vending machine in the middle of the woods that gives you what you truly need. It gives Craven a sack of flour with a note that reads, “Please take care of her. Her name is Lydia.”
