Kid friendly theatre, family friendly prices.


JUNIE B. IN JINGLE BELLS, BATMAN SMELLS!
by Allison Gregory
adapted from the books by Barbara Park
directed by Casey Stangl
November 4-20, 2011

Junie B. is back! We couldn't let another season pass without a return visit from the world's funniest first grader—yes, she's in first grade now, but so is her nemesis Tattletale May. And, with the holidays coming, Santa is watching Junie B. like a hawk. (She sure hopes he didn't see her throw grass in May's hair.) To make things worse, when she draws a name for the Secret Santa gift party, it's May! Even though Junie B. and her stuffed elephant Philip Johnny Bob talk it over and decide a lump of coal is the perfect gift for May, Junie B. will steal your heart—and brighten your spirits—with her last-minute choice.


THE BORROWERS
by Mary Norton
adapted for the stage by Charles Way
directed by Shelley Butler
February 10-26, 2012

In this enchanting new play based on an award-winning classic of children's literature, Arrietty lives a quiet life with her parents in a warm and cozy home. But, like any fourteen-year-old girl, she longs for the big wide world. And that world is really enormous for Arrietty because she's only four inches tall, and home is beneath the floorboards with scary "human beans" living just above. One day she's allowed to go above to "borrow" a few necessities and meets a human boy. But when he accidentally reveals their hiding place, her little family has to flee to the great outdoors, where she sees her first sunrise, gets surprised by a crow and spends the night in a shoe. Arrietty's adventure has begun!


JANE OF THE JUNGLE
book and lyrics by Karen Zacarías
music by Deborah Wicks La Puma
directed by Juliette Carrillo
May 25 - June 10, 2012

Jane is an ordinary suburban girl, complete with a really nice mom and a bratty little brother. But Jane is on the verge of some big changes. Middle school is looming, and that's both exciting and a little scary. And yet nothing compares with the jolt she gets when she wakes up one morning to discover she has acquired spots, furry ears and a tail! Not only that, but her neighborhood seems to be turning into a jungle! This delightfully inventive new musical takes a wild and wonderful approach to everything kids have to go through before they're truly "grown up."

Plays SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
