2007-08 Season Announced: Musicals, Musicals, Musicals!

We're fresh from a couple of weekends of intense season-planning mini-retreats, and we've decided that it's time for Impact to take a new direction. As you know, it's often challenging to attract audiences to new plays by little-known (if emerging) playwrights. So we've decided to give you what you want: musicals!
Of course, we'd have to do our musicals the Impact way, so we'll start off the season with a thrash-metal version of The Sound of Music, then segue into an all-lesbian take on The Music Man. Naturally, we also have to have a Shakespeare in our season, so following those two will be an all-singing, all-dancing Taming of the Shrew. And finally, the crowning jewel will be the world premiere of a brilliant new show before it heads for Broadway after its run at La Val's: Pulp Fiction: The Musical!
Please join us for this exciting, groundbreaking season by subscribing today.
We should also note that we will have to add a musical surcharge to our affordable ticket prices, but the surcharge will only be $50/ticket. Thanks for understanding.

Oh, how awful twas all a joke. I was so there, too. Pulling thunder from Cole Porter, and putting on a new musical version of "Shrew" was such a good idea.
I've not seen a good musical in a smelly basement since the time I saw a drag king musical version of the movie "Crusing."
Also, I've been looking for a musical to be in.
Guess I'll just catch up on my reading like I planned :-(

Dude, I was SO looking forward to Pulp Fiction: The Musical. Imagine song and dance numbers like "Le Big Mac" or "Badass Motherfucker."
It's genius waiting to happen.
