A Wake to Remember

by Samantha Wong
Featuring Anita Mei La Terra, Declan Ryan, and William Moffat

"A Wake to Remember" invites you on an emotionally charged journey through friendship, unrequited love, and the pursuit of dreams deferred. Dive into a story where the past and present collide at a wake, offering a second chance to confront unspoken truths and heal old wounds. This drama-comedy, infused with singer-songwriter-style music, explores the complexities of growing up, death, and the enduring power of friendship. If "The Last Five Years" touched your heart, prepare to be moved and motivated by the poignant yet humorous exploration of life's what-ifs and the music that binds us.

When Henry

by John Sharp and Ben Hunter
Featuring Jo Jabalde and Teddy Burgess

Dive into a world where love, manipulation, and the pursuit of perfection collide in "When Henry." Experience an audacious musical journey that explores the dark and light of human relationships, the complexities of time travel, and the eternal quest for a flawless existence. Will Paige and Henry's love survive the ultimate test, or will the manipulation of time unravel the fabric of their destiny? This show challenges the notion of what it means to truly love and be loved, making us question: If we could change our past, should we?
