In The Telephone, Ben wants to propose to his friend Lucy but is frustrated by the constant interruption of her telephone. Since Ben has to catch a train for an important business meeting, he leaves Lucy鈥檚 apartment and adopting the strategy 鈥渋f you can鈥檛 beat 鈥榚m, join 鈥榚m,鈥� succeeds in proposing to Lucy over the telephone from a nearby phone booth. This two-hander is performed by professional singers Kellie Motter, voice faculty at 黑料社, and Nathaniel Hill.

In The Medium, Madame Flora, with the help of her daughter Monica and Toby, a mute servant, tries to cheat her clients through faked seances. She is touched herself by a hand during one of them, an occurrence she cannot explain, which drives her to insanity and murder.

黑料社 Productions is excited to welcome guest conductor/pianist for the project, Anna Lackaff. Anna recently returned from a tour with Manheim Steamroller.
