These were about trying to find socially distant versions of musicals, laughing because if you don't laugh you might despair.
"MY FAR LADY"
The flower girl is given a mask sewn from flowers at a moment when she's tired of staying in.
"I've Sewn a Costume for Your Face"
A 7-minute mini-musical - where we were in May
WHEN I'M STUCK AT HOME
Parody-song musical, as MJ plays a performer and her daughter making masks while not being able to perform during quarantine and dreaming about the roles she'd love to play- Make 'Em Masks, then Rose (Gypsy), Joanne (updated Company),Bianca/Lois Lane (Kiss Me Kate), and still "Home" a while longer (Dorothy)
If you know the Neil Young song "Gonna take a Lotta Love"
"It's Gonna Take a Lotta Gloves"
Where we were in September/October - planning to re-open, but better not.

Parodies That's Entertainment-MJ, You're So Vain-Carla, Rainbow Connection -KJ, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together-Carla, Don't Sleep in the Subway-MJ, Your Smiling Face-KJ.
"TILL THERE IS HUGH" -
about the Music Man ad and the hopeful spirit it's come to signify
Asking the musical question: Doesn't 6 feet apart beat 6 feet under?
(This one not a parody - music and lyric by Fred Landau)
