Notes From a Page - New Works Series from Emerging Artists Theatre (EAT)
Paul Adams, Curator
A festival of original, eclectic and engaging new musicals.
Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind, once-a-year festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself enthralled by One Woman Standing, perhaps laughing with One Man Talking, maybe even humming along to a few new Notes from a Page. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.
TAKE SPECIAL NOTE: Each title in the series has only one performance, one date, one time, so please book carefully. Scroll down and find the show, or shows, of your choosing. And then check the other listings for "One Man Talking" and "One Woman Standing" and book tickets for those shows as well!

Book and Lyrics by Richard Byrne
Music by Jon Langford and James Elkington

A naked fake emperor. Glam rock. A head in a box. That's Nero/Pseudo.
Nero's dead, right? Or maybe his fans won't let Rome's cruel but entertaining emperor exit the stage just yet. Ancient Rome collides with glam rock in Nero/Pseudo -- a new play by Richard Byrne with music by Jon Langford (Mekons) and James Elkington (the Zincs).

Book, Lyrics, and Music by Mindy Levokove
Directed by Andreas Hager
Come and Get Your Piece of the Pie!
Obama and his Presidency are celebrated, examined, questioned, pleaded with, applauded, supported, opposed, ignored, and finally, identified with. A dynamic, diverse, all-female cast sings a cappella, representing various perspectives and voices of some of the many groups who have been traditionally marginalized by the heretofore "ruling class" in America.

"THE UNFORTUNATE SQUIRREL"

Music by Nicole Hale, Ronnie Reshef, Tom Swafford, Frederick Alden Terry, and Jana Zielonka
Directed by Julie Kramer
An absurdist romantic comedy featuring an out-of-work Yeti, a lovelorn philanderer, and a struggling misanthrope. Poignant, silly, satiric, and screwball, it ponders how
the inhabitants of a Big City persevere amid the probable nonexistence of God and the constant irritation of other people. Squirrels die; hearts are broken; hope is found.
