About the Shows
Go, Dog. Go!
P.D. Eastman’s classic children’s book bursts to life on stage in a colorful, high-energy celebration of movement and imagination. The dogs sing, dance, climb trees, ride a ferris wheel, snorkel, and howl at the moon in this whimsical pop-up-book world full of nonstop fun!
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical (Junior Version)
When the notorious Herdman kids—“the worst kids in the world”—crash Sunday school and take over the annual Christmas pageant, chaos and hilarity ensue. With biting, cigar-smoking, and their own “rewrites,” the Herdmans turn the town upside down. But through their wild antics, the community rediscovers the true meaning of Christmas in this heartwarming, funny, and family-friendly musical.
