Trial Run Productions rides into New York City with two modern musicals that mash up Gilbert & Sullivan‑style wit, classic musical‑theater melody, and contemporary questions about love, ego, and artificial intelligence. Four performances only will be staged May 15–17, 2026 at the John Cullum Theatre at The American Theater of Actors, 314 West 54th Street, New York City 10019. Suitable for audiences 12+.

Set in a delightfully off-kilter version of the Old West, Gunfight at the Not-So-OK Saloon is a musical comedy that asks: What if Gilbert & Sullivan wrote a Western? When a wide-eyed traveler named Chance rides into town looking for his lost love Hope, he discovers she's now working in a saloon—and spending a little too much time with the pompous Sheriff Sunday. Hijinks, harmonies, and high-stakes hilarity ensue as love, ego, and one not-so-OK showdown collide.

Brooke deRosa (book, music and lyrics) and Liza Barskaya (choreographer) direct a cast of 12, including Christopher Anderson-West, Nandani Sinha, Brooke deRosa, Jonathan Matthews, Phil Meyer, Spencer Allen, Skylar Gaines, Mark Thurner, Jessie Massoudi, Brooke Iva Lohman, Annalise Staudt, Patrick K Compton, and Natalie Vatcher. Original direction by Jennifer Clymer.

Gunfight at the Not-So-OK Saloon premiered at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in 2019 through Trial Run Productions, where it played to sold-out houses and received multiple accolades, including Pick of the Fringe, The Encore Producer’s Award, and The John Raitt Award for Best Music and Lyrics. A second, expanded production followed in 2023, again at the Hollywood Fringe, where it continued to charm audiences with its sharp wit and toe-tapping score.

In a near-future world where domestic robots are common, one overwhelmed couple orders two new helpers—only to find themselves in over their heads when the robots start asking big questions about love, purpose, and identity. As the humans struggle to teach their mechanical counterparts what it means to feel, the line between teacher and student begins to blur. Equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, Does Not Compute is a comic musical for the age of artificial emotion.

With music by Brooke deRosa and lyrics by Kelsey Johnson, Judy Louise Johnson directs a cast of six, including Brooke deRosa, Phil Meyer, Jonathan Matthews, Nandani Sinha, Kelsey Johnson, and Skylar Gaines. Understudies: Annalise Staudt, and Brooke Iva Lohman. Understudy: Natalie Vatcher. Original direction by David P. Johnson.

Does Not Compute was originally commissioned by Cowtown Opera Company in Calgary and later received its premiere production in 2023 in Los Angeles, helmed by MC Arts. This heartfelt sci-fi comedy—set in a world where robots are asked to learn love—offered a fresh, funny, and resonant take on human connection and artificial intelligence.
