For Pete the Cat, life is an adventure no matter where you wind up. So the minute the groovy blue cat meets The Biddles, he gets the whole family rocking. That is, except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth. But when Jimmy draws a blank in art class during the last week of school, it turns out Pete is the perfect pal to help him out. Together, they set out on a mission to help Jimmy conquer second grade art, and along the way, they both learn a little something new about inspiration. Join Jimmy and Pete on an adventure of friendship, all the way to Paris and back in a VW Bus!

Minty Fresh Circus | SAT FEB 6 | 7pm
Named in tribute to Harriet Araminta Tubman (whose childhood nickname was Minty), Minty Fresh Circus brings to the stage a raucous, playful reimagination of circus and dance, infused with African performance rituals, ceremonies, and cultural traditions.
Conceived by Monique Martin, Minty Fresh Circus is a U.S.-based circus show performed by an all-Black cast, with a majority-Black creative team, celebrating the healing power of Black music and movement. The acrobats perform a range of movement sourced from the African Diaspora, including percussive dance, ritual movement, Lindy, hip-hop, poppin’ and lockin’, jukin’, hand games, and physical theater. The central question this circus asks is: what does freedom feel and sound like if your only access to it is through your imagination?
Magic School Bus | SUN FEB 21 | 4pm
Hop on the Magic School Bus for a ride in this new musical adaptation based on the original book series published by Scholastic. When the class gets lost on the way to the planetarium, Ms. Frizzle saves the day by blasting into outer space for an epic interplanetary field trip! But when rivalries, both old and new, threaten to tear the students apart, our young heroes must learn to pull together or risk getting forever lost in the solar system.
