WHAT happens when an imaginative and single woman, turning 40, can't wait any longer for a Tiffany diamond? Find out in "More Precious than Diamonds" (music, book and lyrics by Stephanie Hutchinson. Directed by Jonathan Levit.) Julie and Michelle enter Tiffany's Beverly Hills. Julie's practical, married friend, Michelle, tries to talk her out of buying herself a diamond. A salesman persuades Julie to try on a ring, which gets stuck.

The show also features six other musicals, including:
"Change of Plans" (music, book and lyrics by Michael Gordon Shapiro. Directed by Derrel Maury), in which a former entrepreneur, now in a rut, rediscovers his college journals. Confronted with his own aspirations from earlier in life, he is forced to decide which version of himself he is going to be.
In "Myjovi el Musical"(music, book and lyrics by Jan Michael Alejandro. Directed by Rachel Myles), Carlos Carlos, an entrepreneur, leader in his community and ex-pro soccer player, is enjoying life. While celebrating his birthday with the employees of his successful sports drink company, his whole world comes to a screeching halt when he is served with a cease-and-desist order filed by a famous rock star. He is forced to shut down his operation. This musical comedy is loosely based on a true story written in the New York Times.
"The Queen and the Dragon" (libretto by Jan Michael Alejandro and Jonathan Price. Music by Jonathan Price. Directed by Kirk Smith.) It is ancient Greek times, and Queen Cassandra vows her love to Adon, a warrior for the island kingdom of Kos, but Adon loves Jason, the court singer. Cassandra orders Zeno, the alchemist, to make a love potion. What happens next is a beautiful new chamber opera.
Ex-lovers meet at a restaurant for a reunion which turns sour, and two dysfunctional couples with various problems try to navitage a cocktail party in "The Red Bouquet" and "Something Not Real" (music, book and lyrics by Joshua Fardon. Directed by Wynn Marow.)
