Teeth
Featuring Michael R. Jackson
and Anna K. Jacobs
Teeth is a musical that follows Dawn O'Keefe, a charismatic leader of a Christian youth group called the Promise Keeper Girls, who grapples with her own sexual desires while suppressing them due to her strict religious upbringing; when violated, she discovers a shocking secret power where her body physically fights back against sexual assault, essentially giving her "teeth" against her attackers; the show explores themes of religious oppression, female sexuality, and bodily autonomy, based on the cult film of the same name, with music by Anna K. Jacobs and lyrics by Michael R. Jackson.
​
This episode features the songs “Precious Gift” performed by Alyse Alan Louis and the Promise Keeper Girls, “Modest is Hottest” performed by Jason Gotay and Alyse Alan Louis, and “Shame in My Body” performed by Alyse Alan Louis.
Lewis Loves Clark
Featuring Mike Ross
and Dylan MarcAurele
Lewis Loves Clark is a funny, fast-paced epic about the famous Corps of Discovery expedition. Combining bluegrass, folk and pop, this tragicomedy follows Meriwether Lewis (a depressed closeted alcoholic), William Clark (just breathtakingly oblivious), Sacagawea (permanently exasperated), and York (would rather be birdwatching) as they grapple with the not-so-great unknown.
​
This episode features demo recordings of “But Wait, There’s More” performed by Dylan MarcAurele and “Sacagawea’s Lullaby” performed by Kyra Atekwana.
