Hypatia And The Heathens
Alexandria, Egypt 392 CE: a bustling, multicultural city where people of every race and religion flock to contribute to the advancement of humanity. At its center stands it’s crowning glory: the Library of Alexandria. But all great civilizations must come to an end. As instability rises throughout the empire, all that stands between the light of knowledge and the dark ages is one rebel librarian you’ve probably never heard of. Until now.
PRODUCTIONS
Dangersparkle and the Lion
- Book and lyrics by Lia Tamborra and Harry Einhorn.
- Music by Lia Tamborra, Harry Einhorn, and Balint Varga.
DANGERSPARKLE AND THE LION is the epic, touching, comic, and way-too personal tale of the history of the human race as seen through the eyes of two hapless immortals, fallen from heaven and doomed to reincarnate together until they can figure out just how to get along. Exploring the twisted interconnectedness of life, the causal nature of our actions, the nature of faith, and the power of love that runs through it all, this original and truly unique two-person musical is operatic in scope, universal in theme, and intimate in execution. Weaving together myth, world music, story telling, and good old fashioned musical theater, this theatrical romp spans from the dawn of man to the end of days, with stops in ancient Greece, classical India, medieval Europe, the high seas, modern times, and more along the way.

Nominations: Best Music and Lyrics (Lia, Harry, Bálint), Best Book of a New Musical (Lia, Harry), Best Direction (Shana Solomon), and best Fight Choreography (Adam Mazer).

ATLANTIS! The Final Hours
An epic musical exploration of the lost continent’s final hours. What happens when an advanced society (despite its giant pyramids, reptilians, foes, and powers of astral projection) gets so caught up in their petty problems they don’t notice an impending environmental disaster? A mix of Gilbert and Sullivan, modern minimalism, contemporary and classic music theater, pop, absurdism, ancient lore, and folk songs, Atlantis! was originally performed at the Tada Theater as part of the Emerging Artist Series New Works Festival.
