Book and music by Joe Kinosian
Book and Lyrics by Kellen Blair
A new musical comedy adapted from the ‘50s classic sci-fi film from Universal Pictures—now in “thrilling 3D,” live on stage! Amateur astronomer Jon Putnam encounters an alien spaceship in the desert and becomes the laughingstock of his small town, until the extraterrestrial visitors make their presence known, and he must convince the gathering mob that they have come in peace. A clever musical score and creative physical humor puts a new spin on Ray Bradbury’s flying saucer tale—examining society’s fear of outsiders as it simultaneously embraces the wonder of what lies just beyond the stars.
"SCROOGE IN LOVE"
Book by Duane Poole
Music by Larry Grossman
Lyrics by Kellen Blair
A year after the events of A Christmas Carol, the four ghosts (Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future) return with a new goal: to reunite the new and improved Ebenezer Scrooge with his long-lost first love, Belle. All of Dickens’ familiar characters return in this romantic and festive sequel to the perennial classic. Available to license by visiting TamsWitmark.Com!
"DIANE STEALS THE SHOW"
Book and music by Joe Kinosian
Book and Lyrics by Kellen Blair
Diane Steals the Show is an original musical farce in the tradition of backstage comedies such as Noises Off and The Play That Goes Wrong, a celebration of the madcap way live theater can drive us crazy while also having the power to pull us together.

"JUST BETWEEN THE ALL OF US"
Music by Dave Christensen
Book and Lyrics by Sarah Ziegler Blair
& Kellen Blair
This interactive musical comedy follows Madeline Owens, an ER doctor who suddenly finds herself interested in four different men from an online dating site. With the audience acting as her “friends and family,” she narrows down her prospects in the style of a grown-up “choose-your-own-adventure” story.
