The Bear Went Over the Mountain

Musical Theatre program for children grades 1-4.

Once upon a time, there lived a bear with many friends, but he was restless. Surely there is more to life than eating honey and berries, and sleeping the winter away! It’s time to expand my horizons, he thought. So one day, Da Bear declares “this is the day” and begins his journey up the mountain in search of adventure and – “to see what he could see,” of course. But beware! What’s lurking over there? Come along and see what Da Bear and his animal buddies discover!

Wing It!

Musical Theatre program for children grades 1-4.

The baby birds are getting bigger and it’s time for them to leave the nest and try to fly. But not this little batch of nesters! They have decided they like their snug little nest and all of the amenities it offers. Why leave home when it’s so nice and safe right here? Through the course of this musical, all of the other birds – including rapping raptors, humming hummingbirds, honking geese and more – will work to convince the babies that eventually everyone has to try to fly and make it on their own. And when you do, you might just soar!

Matilda, Jr. The Musical

Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence… and special powers! She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however – the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules.
