Sinopse

Jane Annie is a comic opera co-written by Arthur Conan Doyle and J. M. Barrie (creator of Peter Pan), a farcical foray into musical theatre. The story unfolds in a girls' boarding school where the title character, Jane Annie, is determined to win the "good conduct prize" by any means – including mischievous hypnosis of her classmates and teachers. Hijinks ensue as studious Jane's spell causes strict governesses to behave absurdly and young ladies to reveal secrets. Doyle and Barrie's wit shines in the playful dialogue and parodies of school morals. Though not a great success on stage, Jane Annie stands as an intriguing curio in Doyle's oeuvre, showcasing his humorous side and willingness to experiment outside of prose. The operetta's plot is light and satirical, sending up Victorian educational norms and the notion of too good behavior, all culminating in a cheeky, whimsical finale.

    While tying the bows on her wedding invitations, Kiersten's fiancé walked in and told her he didn't think he loved her, and maybe never had . . . Oh, and he'd cheated. At a place called The Magic Castle. But don't worry, because six months later, while Kiersten was struggling to pay rent, he won $100,000 on a reality show. Yes, you read that right . . . 
     
     
     
    A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
     
     
     
    Why is it that the minute you get your heart broken, whether by a boy or a dream, you look around to see everyone else is doing amazing! Because everyone else is stupid . . . 
     
     
     
    Oh, and why are they always telling you "everything happens for a reason"?! Leave me alone, Cheryl! 
     
     
     
    But also, don't. Because when you're alone, you're hit with the reality that you can't wake up from this bad dream. Why are you the only one heartbroken? The only one struggling? The only one . . . Crushed? But what if that's the stupid part? The lie that you are the only one. 
     
     
     
    In this nostalgic memoir equally cut with anguish and humor, Lyons invites listeners along on a lifetime of Crushed moments and the hope of being left in awe of the pivots she never wanted in the first place. 
     
     
     
    And what if realizing you aren't alone is the first step to one day knowing you'll be in awe too?

    Corbett Thomas, a one-hit wonder back in the 90s, now works as the lead sommelier at Napa Valley's hippest restaurant. Better still, Corbett is only an exam away from becoming one of only 250 Master Sommeliers in the entire world, and finally living the life of stardom and adoration he got a taste for in his youth. 
    But the Master Comm "sit" is the hardest exam in the world. And Corbett has an unfortunate knack to self-destruct at the exact wrong moment. 
    When billionaire game designer, Brogan Prescott, asks Corbett to consult on a major vineyard acquisition, Corbett sees it as a shot at redemption...until he learns of Brogan's ridiculous vision of a virtual-reality winery. Worse still, Brogan's hiding a secret about the vineyard—one that could threaten to change the face of Napa Valley forever. 
    Even if Corbett can get out of his own way long enough to purchase the vineyard first, he'll be faced with the hardest decision of his life: take the fame and fortune he desperately craves, or save the soul of the valley he loves so much.
