The time is 1945 in NYC. The Holocaust has split apart a family as the father and youngest daughter escape to America and the mother and eldest daughter are left behind. As the play opens the father and daughter have just learned that the older daughter has survived and is on her way to NYC to be reunited with the only family she has left. A touching drama unfolds. Sometimes sad. Sometimes joyful. The question being can this family set aside all that divides them and become one again?

A rogue's gallery of outrageous clowns and cunning charlatans come to life in On My Own, Ian Mairs' lively adaptation of David Copperfield. The early chapters of the Dickens classic take center stage, as young David struggles to make his way in the world after his mother dies. Though David finds cruelty at the hands of stepfathers, schoolmasters, and swindlers, it's the surprising kindness and compassion he encounters that stay with him as he searches for a place to call home. This playfully-paced, colorful adaptation is the perfect way to introduce a new generation to the beloved story of David Copperfield.

Disney’s Finding Nemo Kids is a short musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo, with new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.
