The Selfish Giant

January 12-February 18

Performances: 4:15 p.m. February 16 and 7:30 p.m. February 16 (dinner at 6 p.m.)

Oscar Wilde's classic children's story about a Selfish Giant who wouldn't share his beautiful garden becomes a joyous play that touches on themes of friendship and heart-changing faith. The Selfish Giant comes home from a long trip to find children playing in his garden. He kicks them out, threatening to bring them to justice for trespassing. But a harsh winter-in the form of comic characters Frost, Snow, Hail and North Wind-brings the realization to the giant that the children who used to trespass in his garden implanted friendship in this special place. The Giant's heart melts in a life-changing moment, and spring, along with the children, returns to his garden.

 

Alice in Wonderland

March 2-April 15

Performances: 4:15 p.m. April 13 and 7:30 p.m. April 13 (dinner at 6 p.m.)

Children have always been fascinated by Alice’s strange and exciting adventures in Wonderland. Now they can actually join Alice in her travels. In this remarkable adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic, the author has created a Wonderland especially made for children. The audience becomes a part of the forest through which Alice travels; they join her at the Mad Hatter's tea party, and even take part in that memorable croquet game with the Queen of Hearts.

 

Bigger Than Life

April 20-May 27

Performances: 4:15 p.m. May 25 and 7:30 p.m. May 25 (dinner at 6 p.m.)

Tall tales, folktales, talking tales, noodles, whoppers, windies, stretchers—everyone has a different name for these stories. Whatever you call them, America's legends come to life in this lively, delightful award-winning play that will appeal to all ages. When P.T. Barnum arrives in town with his traveling troupe, the mayor isn't so sure Barnum's on the level. So the master showman agrees to give a sample of his wares. What follows is knee slappin', foot stompin', rip roarin' fun, as some of the best loved characters in American folklore come to life to show us their stories. As P. T. Barnum might say, prepare to be amused, amazed, astounded, edified and infinitely entertained.
