Synopsis: The Big Eleven - A play written by CYT alum Stephen LaConte. To a junior in high school, getting into the right college is a matter of life or death. Welcome to the chaotic world of nine juniors who are about to make the most important decision of their lives...or so they're told. Between crazed counselors, SATs, pressuring parents, and the infamous college tour, these students must learn to survive and succeed at a high school where competition reigns and acceptance to an Ivy League school is the ultimate goal.

Removing the Glove - A play written by Clarence Coo Young. Will has admitted that he is left-handed. How can he tell this to his family? His friends? Afraid of repercussions, he's hid this sordid fact about himself for years. He eats with his right hand. His parents and his girlfriend don't know. He can't go on lying like this, but how can he come out of the glove compartment? Although one person in ten is left-handed, society hasn't caught up with the facts. The school's star quarterback admitted to being ambidextrous and was kicked off the team. Some still consider it a mental disease. There are rumors that the President of the United States is himself a leftie, and this is why he avoided the draft. Will our hero find the strength to reveal his true nature and "Remove the Glove"?

Urinetown - Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Urinetown is an hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America's greatest art forms.
