Join three generations of the legendary Guerrero family as they gather for a special family reunion. In the kitchen, Kati and Ellie are digging up old feuds. On the patio, you can get high (on life) with the cousins, and in the living room, Maestra will tell you about the generations of musicians that came before, while you sit next to her sipping your drink.
As the evening unfolds, secrets are unearthed, old rivalries are revived, and the family is forced to decide who will carry on their musical legacy. Inspired by the seminal Linda Ronstadt album Canciones de mi Padre, Canciones is a site-specific party, an acoustic Mariachi jam, and a family reunion all rolled into an immersive, interactive experience. Come for the tamales—stay for the chisme!

We know World Theater Day is March 27th BUT, in show biz Monday nights are for the artists so, we're celebrating March 30th! Blood, sweat, and jazz hands…making a show happen is not for the faint of heart! “Glitter, Grit, & Grind” is a night of songs and stories about the joys and trials of putting "on" a show. From the first rehearsal to the final bow, this show pulls back the curtain and revels in the reality of making art — the chaos, the camaraderie, the costume malfunctions, and the sense of purpose that make it all worth it.

Have you ever spent hours perfecting a self tape, then (against the advice of everyone around you) felt so confident that you pictured yourself in costume, on stage, basking in the warmth of the spotlight, only to discover that the show was already cast and that your video has a total of zero views? Yeah…us too.
So, in the hopes of remedying the situation we would love for you to send that self tape that never made it past your blue screen to us!

Elena María Ramírez was born to be a torera, but it’s a rare feat for a woman in México’s bullfighting scene. In order to enter the ring, she must defy society, her family, and legendary torero Don Rafael Cárdenas. Torera is a dynamic, epic family drama that swirls with the action, stakes, and intrigue of the bullfighting ring.
Torera explores bullfighting as a sport and culture in this coming-of-age story set in Mexico. The intent of this production is not to romanticize the sport, which is currently banned in Mexico City and most of the Mexican provinces, but to respect the spirit around it. The action in Torera takes place before the ban was implemented.
Performances of Torera include the use of theatrical smoke, haze, and strobe.
Dynamic Pricing; $20, $40, $65, $100

While submitting your last assignment, performing in your last jury, and finally being able to throw your cap in the air is an indescribable feeling, the feeling following graduation week is also indescribable but not for the same reasons. Summer post-grad isn’t full of beach days, late-night drives, and planning the first themed party for the first week back on campus but rather full of job applications, creating a budget, and wondering if you made the right choice in career and how one can even adult if you cannot remember how hot chicken needs to be cooked to…it’s 165 btw. This cabaret will be performed entirely by the class of 2024, showcasing many GreenRoom 42 debuts, and will focus on songs that not only celebrate our accomplishments but also highlight feelings of uncertainty, identity crisis, determination, and ambition.
A night honoring musical theatre's swings and understudies.

“We only regret the chances we didn’t take, relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we took too long to make”. The Right Regrets looks at regret from the perspective of a 20-something. Too young to know regret? Perhaps, but not too young to know the fear of regret associated with major life decisions. I’ve always lived my life as a race, constantly striving to pass the person ahead of me, while simultaneously looking over my shoulder. My grandparents ask if I’m dating anyone special whenever I call. The Union Square clock reminds me that the planet is on fire, and my best friends are all landing jobs with a 401K before graduation while I’m waiting in line for hours to sing for 90 seconds. This show will explore the quintessential question “have I made the right choice?” through songs that not only focus on that theme but have a personal connection to my own journey.

Come join Bryanna in her final celebration and showcase of all she was learned and worked on during the past four years as she earns her degree in Music Theatre from Baldwin Wallace.
Note from Bryanna: I elected to name my Senior Recital "Putting It Together" after the title track on Barbra Streisand's Back To Broadway album. So much has happened in the past four years of college and there have been moments, where like any artist, I have questioned if it's all worth it? I remember giving living room concerts to my parents and singing every song on this album when I was a little girl, so consider this recital not only a tribute to Ms. Streisand's work ethic, attention to detail and vocal specificity, but the reigniting of my love for musical theatre and heading 'back to broadway'. These past four years have truly taught me that it not only takes talent to be successful in this industry, but perseverance, kindness, and passion; I would like to thank everyone who was a part of making this recital possible, and I hope you see how each song shows a different part of my artistry.
9 To 5 The Musical is based on the hilarious hit movie set in the late 1970s. This outrageous story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is hysterical, thought-provoking and even a little romantic. Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a comical turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasies of revenge and success.
The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an energetic governess to the seven children of Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision.
