Onstage, a top-notch cast of professional actors perform original musical theatre designed to enrich, engage, enlighten, challenge, amaze and above all....entertain!

Tickets for our school day matinees are reduced to only $9 per Student! Chaperons attend FREE (1 per every 20 students) That's a great deal!!

Introducing the 2010-2011 Season:

The Witch of Pirate Island
Join us as we sail for the Caribbean on the Cabaret Cruise Lines. Our cruise director will welcome you on board and instruct you in the safety drills in the "unlikely event of an emergency". It's smooth sailing until a sudden storm washes us up on a haunted island where we discover the wreckage of a pirate ship.

Frosty the Snowman
A Children's winter story with a feel good spirit that makes for a holiday favorite. It's a fairy tale they say, but children knew he'd come to life one day.
