		The Chameleon Theatre Circle presents: Death Penalty Puppetry At The Loring Playhouse ~ Minnesota Fringe Festival • August 6–15, 2004 ~ Created & Written by The Company Conceived & Directed by G.J. Clayburn Finally, two topics that have divided the nation collide before our eyes: the death penalty and puppetry. It all starts innocently enough. A puppet and his human sidekick enter a convenience store for a newspaper, fig newtons and — oh yeah — all of the money in the safe. Through a series of scenes and vignettes, the topic unfolds as only puppets can examine it — with hilarity, sensitivity and heart-felt performances. This is Chameleon's first venture into company-created work. This is also the company's first dive into puppet-filled waters. Will they sink or swim? Come find out!
Songs For A New World		In the Summer of 2004, The Chameleon Theatre Circle began workshopping Jason Robert Brown's musical Songs For A New World. Because of performer schedules in the desired performance time of year, there were no public performances of Songs For A New World.
			A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum By Stephen Sondheim, Larry Gelbart and Burt Shevelove Directed by Brad Donaldson October 28-November 13, 2004 "Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written - the perfect escape from life's troubles. A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000 year old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom.
