A CHRISTMAS MEMORY
A Musical
Compiled and Edited by Jason Anderson
Music and Lyrics by C. Michael Perry
The musical deals with the feelings of loneliness sometimes felt at Christmas time. It is Christmas of the current year. Irene Rasmussen, (Grandma) has recently lost her husband, Nicholas. She is facing Christmas “alone” for the first time. Of course she isn’t entirely alone when her three children and eight grandchildren descend on her for the holidays. All are concerned for Grandma in her first Christmas without Grandpa. So the family is wondering how this Christmas is going to turn out. A solution to the problem comes along with problems of her own. Danni, a sort of step-grand-daughter is now living with her step mom, Samantha– Grandma’s daughter. Danni McKenna is rebellious and doesn’t want to fit in–or maybe she’s decided that she can’t fit in.
She feels unloved–unwanted. By centering her attention on Danni’s problems Grandma eases the loss of her beloved husband. Through the memories of Christmases past, the family comes closer together, eases the loss of Grandpa for all and shows Danni that they accept her for who she is–and for the first time in a long time Danni feels wanted and loved. And it happens in a most unusual way: through the three ghosts of dead family members, who appear to Danni. And through the remembrances of other Christmases.

CINDERABBIT!
Book and Lyrics by MIMI BEAN
Music by C. MICHAEL PERRY
with Puppets by RONNIE BURKETT
A wonderful musical adapted from the classic Cinderella story with animal characters. Prince Richard– the Rabbit-Hearted, Princess Tabitha of the Blue Mountain Grove; they are the center of this adaptation.
It seems that when the Grove burned down years ago, Tabitha’s parents left her on the doorsteps of the Bugmerks, a family of toads on the edge of the Great, Grey Swamp. After the death of Mr. Bugmerk, Emilia and her daughters Merklene and Bogelda made life miserable for our Tabitha. So much so that she remembers none of her past, hence they call her “Cinderabbit.” Life is made bearable for her by her close friend and confidant, Mercedes, a mouse living in the Bugmerk’s dwelling. Well, the night of the Ball comes. The Bugmerks leave poor Cinderabbit behind. And who appears? Gracie–Cinderabbit’s Jewish Fairy Pig-Mother, who
sends Tabitha off to the ball.
Delightful characters and situations populate this colorful retelling of the classic tale. When filmed as a television puppet-musical for PBS by KBYU-TV in Provo, Utah it won a “Best of West” award and an EMMY award.

LIBERTY JAIL
A Musical
The Original Cast Album
by Orson Scott Card
Music by C. Michael Perry
At the end of the persecutions of the Mormons in Missouri, Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Sidney Rigdon and three others were imprisoned in a jail at Liberty, Missouri. The conflicts that arose there and the friendships that were formed shaped the future history of the Mormon Church — and also brought to Mormon Scripture the beautiful and poetic Section 121 of the Doctrine and Covenants. This musical drama will have your audience totally involved with beautiful music, a deeply moving story and a variety of characters. It will be seen that there sometimes, for a Prophet of God, can be liberty in jail.

TURN THE GAS BACK ON
A Musical
Book and Lyrics by Max C. Golightly
Music and Lyrics by C. Michael Perry and Neil K. Newell
ROGER HOWARD, Director of a small acting company, brings Marvin, a modern artist-friend, to his theatre to see a rehearsal of some of the scenes of a play he’s producing, for the purpose of convincing him it can be done with the same resulting effects and methods the painter gets with his avante garde paintings. As the play within the play proceeds, the actors and actresses try to apply natural motivations to the meanings in the play. Impressed with a song sung by ROSE, an actress past her prime, who is replacing a regular member of the company, ROGER includes the song in the repertoire and succumbs to her warm charms.
WAYNE and MORRIS, who play opposite MYRA, have difficulty in switching from the the real to the unreal characters in their efforts to understand what significance “the object” has in development of the theme of the play, which is further complicated by the relationship of LILY, ROGER’S assistant, with ADELE. In the final scene, MYRA is carried away in her characterization of LOOMA, finally losing contact with her own identity. She is brought back to reality by the others when they realize that “the object” really belongs to the audience and not to the actors, for when a work of art is created and presented to the public, it becomes theirs–to be done with as they see fit. They give “the object” back to the audience in the end, because that is where it comes from

WHERE FREEDOM STANDS — The Heritage of the American Family
A Musical
The Original Cast Album
Book by James G. Lambert
Music and Lyrics by C. Michael Perry & James G. Lambert
This is the epic story of the people of Utah and the Heritage they share. Two families serve to represent the families of the State. The Clarke family members are Mormon converts who brought civilization West with them as they were driven from place to place. The Lee Family, who are non-Mormons, brought with them in their move West the industrial revolution — and in the process — prosperity as well.
Though both families settled in Utah County, each family plays an important part in everyone’s heritage. Originally conceived for “America’s Freedom Festival at Provo” the theme is universal and the characters can be empathized with by all people everywhere.

AN ENCHANTED APRIL — VOCAL SELECTIONS
Music & Lyrics by C. Michael Perry
Book and Lyrics by Elizabeth Hansen
In just one short Enchanted April, the lives and hearts of four women are transfigured by wisteria, sunshine, a medieval castle…and each other.
In this delightfully romantic musical, the power to change, or not to change, is presented on stage through song and scene in a way that all who experience it have been renewed and uplifted by it.
London…a particularly dreary February in 1922. Four women long to leave their drab and tedious lives for the sun-soaked hills of Italy. Lotty and Rose are desperate to escape their stifling duties and distant husbands; Mrs. Fisher, a formidable and disapproving woman, wants only to sit in the sun to read and remember her receding youth; and Lady Caroline Dester longs for a place she can ponder the existential questions facing her without the distraction of adding suitors or overbearing parents. They dare to rent San Salvatore, a medieval castle awash with the scent of flowers and warmed by the sun, for a month of blissful privacy. Yet, amid the blossoms of fragrant wisteria, hazy heat and sensuous silence, each one will be transformed.
Sometimes what seems impossible…isn’t.

HOW THE WEST WAS DONE — Vocal Selections Song Book
Book and Lyrics by ELIZABETH HANSEN
Music and Lyrics by C. MICHAEL PERRY
A fast paced, toe tapping’, rip roarin’ “Western” show full of authentic American music and many original songs that will both delight the heart as well as tug at its strings. To say that this show both spoofs and honors our western heritage, is to call a polecat a just a skunk.
Not wanting to spoil it all, let’s just say that like all good cowboy stories, everything ends happily for everyone concerned. Looking for love on the lone prairie takes more gumption and spit than anything, and these characters certainly have it!
Premiered at Thanksgiving Point in Utah for the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.

THEY CALLED HIM BROTHER JOSEPH — Vocal Selections Song Book
Book and Lyrics by ELIZABETH HANSEN
Music and Lyrics by C. MICHAEL PERRY
“…brought history to life”
“…recreated vivid characters”
“…enriched my knowledge of the prophet.”
“…spiritual, and testimony building”
We come to know Lucy Mack Smith. It is 1855. She is near death and has compiled her memoirs into a biography of her son, Joseph Smith – – The Prophet. She has a young visitor who is interviewing her for the newspaper and asking her all about that “ol’ Joe Smith”. She says his name was Joseph — but they all called him Brother Joseph. She takes us through bits and pieces of the Prophet’s life in a celebration of the man and his relationship to God, his family, his friends, his congregations and even his enemies — where we find that he was always “Brother Joseph.”
