Featuring eight handpicked short-form musicals taken straight from Theatre Now's SOUND BITES program, Bite Sized is a celebration of all kinds of stories that we tell in musical theatre. The musicals we have selected to be a part of Bite Sized are all a little bit off-beat and surprising - we guarantee you'll never have seen anything quite like them before! This production features the following eight musicals, which together cover a wide range of genres - from fluffy romantic comedy to gritty family drama:

A Relative Relationship

Two step-sibling's time in detention reveals that they have more in common than they first thought.

Book Lovers

An introverted librarian gets advice from literature's most famous lovers to learn about romance.

Cookie Soiree

A trio of girl scouts are about to get their cookie badge, when disaster suddenly strikes!

Dinosaur

A disheartened millennial learns to put down and tinder and connect in the real world (disclaimer: this musical does not feature any actual dinosaurs)

Pellets, Cherries, and Lies

Pacman's addiction to power pellets threatens to tear his family apart.

The Answering Machine

Messages left on an answering machine tell the story of a college romance.

The Hipster Sister

Sisterly bonds are tested in this realistic account of how we must balance the demands of work, life, and family.

Welcome to Ridgington

In an obscure commune in North America, a family sits down to observe their annual "Cleansing Day", a religious tradition where they air their grievances which have been festering all year.
