The Very Hungry Caterpillar follows the wonderful adventures of a very tiny and very hungry caterpillar that progresses through an amazing variety of foods towards his eventual metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly.
Children will delight in the antics of Little Cloud. High up in a beautiful sky, Little Cloud slips away from the rest and transforms itself into various shapes of things it sees - a sheep, and airplane, a shark and more.

Tomie dePaola's Strega Nona
Saturday, Feb 6, at 1:30PM
Based on the children's books by Tomie dePaola, Strega Nona is the musical tale of a friendly magical witch- with a funny name- who strives to cure the ills of her tiny Italian town of Calabria. The baker has bunions ("As big as an onion"), his daughter wishes for witchery, and the local single ladies are always unlucky in love.
The town faces real problems when a local lug named Big Anthony sneaks a peek at Strega Nona's magic book and uses Strega Nona’s magical ways for selfish means. When Anthony fools with the magic pasta pot, and can't figure out how to turn it off, pasta threatens to engulf the whole town -- unless Strega Nona can save the day.
With an energetic and tuneful score by composer Aron Accurso, this fantastical tale teaches that witches can be good, and that and you can’t judge a pot by its pasta!

The Little Engine That Could
Sunday, March 14, at 3:00PM
Watty Piper’s The Little Engine That Could is a time-honored classic and one of the greatest tales of motivation ever told. In this well-loved classic featuring songs, dance and dazzling costumes, the Little Engine overcomes seemingly impossible odds to carry a train full of toys over an imposing mountain. The Little Engine That Could is an entertaining and inspirational favorite that offers a valuable lesson for children and adults alike about the power of optimism.
This colorful and heartwarming play comes to the stage with sassy, colorful life-sized toys of a bygone time. It features several large engines—one too proud, one too powerful and one too old. Each are asked to pull a heavy train over the mountain, but all refuse. The Little Engine is the only one that agrees to try and will succeed with the help of an interactive audience! And now, for the first time, all can see this story on stage, with life-sized toys and train engines, and lots of song and dance.
