Dead Man's Piano, Casserole, Fred, and Honor are all folk musicals we have performed. Who are you and how do you know? was an amalgamation of folk, song cycle (more classical), and theatrical in the sense that there was movement and 'acting' involved. Generally we don't move around much just tell a story/stories and sing our songs, sitting still- mostly.
In Spring of 2014 we performed Luv Sungs and Other fairy Tales
In 2015-16 We performed Nothing is what it seems at various locations
