Jasper is lost in the living world. When you’re failing classes, kicked off the swim team, and your family is on the skids, life can feel like it’s going to hell. Yet, in all the disappointment, Jasper has his best friend: Agnes. In one night of teenage passion, Jasper and Agnes confess their feelings and ruin a years-long friendship. In the morning Agnes is gone, telling Jasper to meet her at their cliff. When he arrives there’s no sign of his best friend, only a swirling vortex to another world in the water below. So-Jasper dives into Deadland! In this rock musical that loosely retells the story of Orpheus and Eurydice and encourages us to find meaning in every life; follow Jasper as he goes through Deadland to find what he lost.
Content Warnings: This show discusses life and death, has some sexual language, and brief mentions of drug use and parental neglect/abuse.

As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can’t control, a destiny he doesn’t want, and a mythology textbook’s worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus’s master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him. Adapted from the best-selling book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and featuring a thrilling original rock score, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is an action-packed mythical adventure worthy of the gods.
Contant Warnings: Minor violence and mention of parental neglect.
Dates: July 6th - 18th, 2026
She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister’s refuge. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, She Kills Monsters offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
Content Warnings: She Kills Monsters contains themes of grief, violence, homophobia and minor sexual content. It also contains some adult language and humor.
We at New Works are a safe space for all identities and don’t consider LGBTQ+ themes and characters advance content- this show is one that is focused on primarily female voices with multiple LGBTQ+ identifying characters.
FALL 2026
Dates: August 21st- November 22nd
New Works is making our way back to Hatchetfield! Since the success of our ‘The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals’ camp in Summer 2025 we’re coming back for more horror-comedy fun in Fall 2026- just in time for Halloween! Something supernatural is stalking the halls of Hatchetfield High, and it's got a grudge against nerdy prudes! When the school's biggest losers start dropping like flies, Grace Chasity, Steph Lauter, and Peter Spankoffski must band together to survive the onslaught. With new and old characters we are so excited to mount this brand new Hatchetfield story brough to us by Starkid Productions and the exact same team from ‘The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals’.
Content Warnings: Unlike Guy, Nerdy Prudes does not have a ‘school- friendly’ version of the script but, we have been given permission to edit the script for our audience. That said this show will have horror typical violence, depictions of teenage sexuality, religious humor, and some adult language. We will edit the show to our students’ comfort level, but some/most aspects of the script will remain the same. Before signing your student up please decide if this is a show you would like to have them participate in- we understand that everyone is at a different comfort and difficulty level so make the best choice for your student and your family.
