Stanley Yelnats wakes up, misses the bus, gets his binder tossed

and there is only one explanation: the curse. When mystical
Madame Zeroni's charm put on his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great

beneath the sand is a legend, a love story and a curse.

Growing-up is hard enough, but imagine growing-up during the

The Red Badge of Courage is the telling of one boy’s struggle

The Fisherman and His Wife
Most enjoyed by ages 4 and up
What happens when a wish-granting fish turns a fisherman’s
life upside-down with the flick of a fin? Find out when a simple
fisherman is granted three wishes from a fantastical flounder.
Will the fisherman’s selfish wife ever stop wishing for
more and more? Adults and kids alike get into the act in this
participatory production. Play along as we learn first hand
why greed isn’t the way to go, kindness can make wishes
come true and home truly is where the heart is!
DEADLINE April 16th- Cost is 5.75 per person.
