Strega Nona: The Musical
based on the story by Tomie dePaola

Sunday, October 31, 2010 at 4:00pm - Tickets

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 you can’t judge. Come dressed in your favorite Halloween Costume for a special treat!

The Adventures of Harold and the Purple Crayon

Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 1:00pm - Tickets
Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 4:00pm - Tickets

“One evening, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight.” So begins Harold and the Purple Crayon, the first of seven delightful picture books by Crockett Johnson, following the zany adventures of an inventive young boy. As it turned out, there wasn’t any moon that night nor was there a path to walk on, so Harold simply drew them. And thus his journey began. Resourceful and brave, Harold creates the world he wants to explore, using nothing more than a big purple crayon and his sky’s the-limit imagination. This show will take you on a wild ride as Harold jets to Mars (shooting stars, space ships!), joins a circus (he walks a tightrope!) and meets a king in an enchanted garden (of course, there’s a dragon). The “Harold” books have captivated families for more than fifty years, celebrating the imagination of children and the unique way they see the world.

Tickets: $18Adult/$12Child; Family Four-Pack -- 2Adults/2Children $50.
