    Adanza

    Adanza is an Innovative new musical where aerial artists meet music, dance, circus, storytelling and bubbles. A story about exploration; where the hero travels the world and finds inspiration everywhere he goes and ultimately learns that it’s never too late to be the person he was always meant to be. A new type of musical circus journey with singing, dancing, and a story, just like in a musical. There is also juggling, unicycles, breakdancing, flipping, animation, bubbles, glow sticks, drumming, aerial artists, audience participation and so much more. If the traditional musical is an album, this musical is a playlist; each number is unique and fresh but they still all come together keeping audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

    EINSTEIN! 100 Years of General Relativity (Santa Monica Playhouse)

    Set in 1914 Berlin, this solo play follows young Albert Einstein as he struggles to prove his general theory of relativity, while his personal life — new fatherhood, a wife who won't agree to a divorce, failing health — and society crumble around him due to the Great War.
