ABOUT THE SHOW: A dancing cat, a howling dog, and a vampire bunny- the perfect pet combination for any family! It’s a dark and stormy night and Chester (the family cat) and Harold (the family dog) sit waiting for their owners to return home from the movies. When the Monroes finally get home, they come bearing a surprise: they’ve found a bunny in the movie theater. But this is no ordinary rabbit… this is the extraordinary Bunnicula! When the family’s produce starts losing its juice, Chester thinks he knows what’s causing the fantastic phenomenon. Bunnicula is a vampire! Singing and dancing their way through this hilarious mystery, the furry friends find room in their hearts, and in their home, for one very unique bunny!

ABOUT THE SHOW: School spirit hits a high note in this energetic, feel-good favorite that’s all about breaking free!

DRIVING MISS DAISY| Best for High School
Shows at 10am | $12 per ticket
ABOUT THE SHOW: She’s independent, he’s determined- and neither one is ready to change. When Daisy Werthan, a wealthy white widow, is paired with Hoke Colburn, her Black chauffeur, what begins as a working relationship slowly transforms into something deeper. Driving Miss Daisy is a warm and human portrait of connection across boundaries of race, age, and class. Gentle, funny, and moving, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a meditation on aging, acceptance, and the idea that sometimes the most meaningful journeys don’t take us far from home- they bring us closer to one another!
RATED PG. This show contains historical social themes (racism, antisemitism), mild language including racial slurs, a car accident, and references to violence. Recommended for ages 11+, with parental guidance.
Dates Available: Mar. 26 & Apr. 2
