The Nutcracker and the Mouse King
Musical play for young audiences by 
Joe Cosentino and Susan Mondzak, 
based on the classic book and ballet


This much loved tale is mostly known as a ballet. However, it began as a classic story of literature by a German author, E.T.A. Hoffmann. The story involves an eccentric inventor whose nephew has been turned into a nutcracker doll by a curse. In order to break the enchantment, the Nutcracker must destroy the Mouse King and find the love of a maiden even in his wooden state. Clara, the inventor's godchild, receives the Nutcracker as a Christmas gift and falls instantly in love with the wooden doll. In a fantasy world, where all the toys come to life, Clara helps the Nutcracker get rid of the evil Mouse King in a thrilling sword fight. The Nutcracker then turns into his former princely self and marries Clara in a heartwarming finale. Six beautiful songs including "Christmas Day," "My Little Man," "Hard Nut to Crack," "Ratvenge," "I Am Not Afraid of You," and "Mimi Likes You-You." A short study guide with classroom activities is included at the back of the script.

Columbus!
the Discoverer

Musical play for young audiences by 
Joe Cosentino and Susan Mondzak


COLUMBUS! The Discoverer  follows Columbus’ dreams of becoming a famous explorer and his attempts to sail a direct route to the Far East. We witness his struggle for support, eventual backing from Queen Isabella of Spain, the survival of his ship’s mutiny, landing in the new world, and his effect on the Native Americans. Columbus may not have discovered America — even by accident — but he was the explorer who found it and thus enabled European expansion. This show was first produced by Interborough Repertory Theater and toured through Encore Performing Arts, Inc. of New York.
