Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! | SAT NOV 1 | 12pm | Join us before the show for Family Fun-a-Palooza!
Whatever you do, don't let the Pigeon star in his own musical production! With a script written by Mo Willems, the creator of the #1 New York Times best-selling, Caldecott Honor award-winning "Pigeon" picture books, and featuring music by Deborah Wicks La Puma (Elephant & Piggie's We Are in a Play!), TheaterWorksUSA's Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! is even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party!
It's not easy being the Pigeon-you never get to do ANYTHING! But when the Bus Driver has a crisis that threatens to make her passengers (gasp!) late, maybe that wily bird CAN do something. Featuring an innovative mix of songs and feathers, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! is sure to get everyone's wings flapping.
Join us for our Family FUN-A-PALOOZA! Experience a fun time with your young ones! Visit our community partners-PBS39, Just Born, Crayola, and many more-on hand with FREE activities, treats, and giveaways! Be on the lookout for a food truck, an Instagrammable spot, Ziggy the Zoellner Zebra and a Family Series Sneak Peek! Check our website for details.
Please note: tickets must be purchased to attend the Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! performance.

Bugs: By Kaki King | SUN FEB 1 | 1pm & 4pm
One of the most acclaimed rock guitarists today blends music and technology with the wild and wonderful world in a fun-filled story about bugs, beetles, critters, and all things sugar! Inspired by her children, Kaki King has created an enchanting concert that combines music, light, and imagery to encourage children to think about nature, ecology, and the animal kingdom. As she plays, different notes feed information into her signature projection mapping program, triggering images of the busy and fascinating lives of bugs onto her guitar. Her "magic guitar" becomes a kaleidoscope of color and sound, illuminating the extraordinary world of BUGS.
Grimmz Fairy Tales | SUN MAR 1 | 4pm
GRIMMZ Fairy Tales is a new play for children that centers on two modern-day street performers, Jay and Will, who bring the time-honored stories of the Brothers Grimm to life with a contemporary urban spin. They're known not just for their sounds but for the stories their music tells them through off-the-chart theatrical effects. Performed in hip-hop style amid a brick landscape with graffiti and flashing lights, the featured tales include Cinderella Remix, Rapunzel and Snow White & the Seven Shawties. Pay your bling and hear them sing in a concert experience like no other! "A hip hop revelation for the younger generation!"
Click, Clack, Moo | SUN MAR 29 | 4pm
"Cows that type? Hens on strike! Whoever heard of such a thing!" When his granddaughter Jenny comes for a visit, Farmer Brown declares the farm a tech-free zone. He takes her laptop in the cold barn with the shivering cows who use her computer to type messages requesting blankets. "No way," replies Farmer Brown. "No blankets!" The cows go on strike and the chickens join them in solidarity. No blankets? No milk! No eggs! Will Farmer Brown give in to the animals' demands?
Click, Clack, Moo is written by Billy Aronson (book), Kevin Del Aguila (lyrics), and Brad Alexander (music); based on the book by Doreen Cronin with illustrations by Betsy Lewin.
