The musical follows 18-year-old Widow Clack, who is pregnant and lives an exiled life running a lighthouse with her brother on a storm-crushed island. When a young man is found dead on the beach, the remaining young adults combust into dangerous accusations leading to division and, ultimately, death.

Representing a collision of artistic disciplines as disparate as musical theatre, photography, and pop/rock music,” 35mm, according to press notes, “pushes the limits of self-expression to create an art form utterly its own. A collection of ‘snapshot stories’ are woven together as each of the evening’s original songs is performed – with gusto and musical virtuosity — while the audience is immersed in stunning projections of the photography that inspired it. 35mm brings the connection between pleasures visual and aural into razor-sharp focus, creating a singular, multi-sensory emotional journey.
35mm: A Musical Exhibition was produced by Tony-winning producer John Johnson in association with Very Intense Productions, and received an initial concert production at Galapagos Art Space in the spring of 2012. Thereafter it has been performed all over the United States in over two dozen productions, as well as around the world in Canada, England, Scotland, and soon Japan in a new translation. In 2014, it was acquired for licensing by Samuel French.
The acclaimed 2014 Off-Broadway hit was presented later at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theater.
Book by HUNTER FOSTER and RYAN SCOTT OLIVER, music and Lyrics by RYAN SCOTT OLIVER.
Jasper in Deadland tells the story of 16-year-old Jasper, who journeys into the Afterlife to rescue his recently deceased best friend, Agnes. But in this version of the hereafter – known as “Deadland,” a hybrid of mythology, religion, and superstition – the dead forget Life… And so, too, will Jasper, if he can’t get past the seven circles of Deadland, fearsome Cerberus, heavenly Beatrix, mysterious Mr. Lethe, and ultimately himself. Can Jasper bring his best friend back from the dead, or will he join the dead forever?
A collection of spooky story songs inspired by the queen of psychological horror herself, Shirley Jackson (The Haunting of Hill House, “The Lottery”). Among the stories included:
In “My Life with R. H. Macy,” a young woman gets a job working at a dystopian department store where everyone’s called Miss Cooper and sales associates go missing all the time.
In “What a Thought,” a man is enjoying an evening at home with his husband, when he gets the thought, “I should kill him.”
In “The Story We Used to Tell,” two women become trapped in a photograph and must fight for their lives to escape.
Newlyweds “Pooch” and Amy Harvey—he, a once great but now conflicted composer, and she, a combat photographer fighting in Iraq—are proud of their progressive views on sex and marriage, and are anxious for their forthcoming child. When they miscarry and struggle to conceive again, their marriage (and sex-life) strains to the brink. The couple seeks relief and finds personal growth in new partners when Amy re-deploys for her second tour of Iraq and Pooch takes on an attractive pupil.
With an electronic pop-rock score, Three Points of Contact checks in on contemporary American marriage today the way Company did in 1970. Anyone who has ever committed themselves to another person will discover themselves in this daring new musical, with plenty to discuss on the drive home.
