HAPPY PLEASANT VALLEY: A SENIOR SEX SCANDAL MURDER MYSTERY MUSICAL

Book, Music & Lyrics by Min Kahng


CenterREP, Walnut Creek, CA

June 1 - 29, 2025


In our first co-production with TheatreWorks Silicon Valley, celebrated Bay Area composer / playwright Min Kahng (The Four Immigrants) has created a world-premiere musical that explodes everything you thought you knew about being young and successful—and old and horny.


When internet influencer Jade Park is cancelled online, she seeks redemption by taking on a precarious challenge—helping her rebellious grandmother June, who has the raised eyebrows of many in her senior residential community following a string of mysterious deaths of her lovers. When the body count starts to rise, the pressure is on Jade to solve the mystery and save her grandmother’s (sex) life! This romp of a world-premiere musical explodes the social taboos around aging by celebrating the Boomer spirit and the intergenerational connections that make family worth fighting for.

AS YOU LOVE IT

by Adam Kraar


Zeiders American Dream Theater

 Transporting audiences to an alternate 20th-century New York, AS YOU LOVE IT follows a spirited young woman who concocts a daring scheme to impress her antiquarian father and the captivating actress who’s stolen her heart.

As Lydia pens a sequel to the beloved As You Like It, her “undiscovered Shakespeare play” takes on a life of its own. Her simple forgery captivates newspapers, scholars, and a Broadway producer, giving a new voice to what she loves most. 

This new comedy exploring the complexities of love and ambition was designated a Finalist by the American Shakespeare Center for its biennial competition for plays “in conversation with Shakespeare.”
