This modern fairy tale was so popular with audiences during our 2006-07 season, that we're bringing it back for an encore performance!

Pickle Chiffon Pie takes you to a land far, far away where the king just wants to eat pickle- chiffon pie, but his kind and beautiful daughter's many suitors eat all his pie. To put an end to this "crummy" problem, the three favorite suitors are sent into the great forest to find a most wonderful thing. The one who brings the most wonderful thing of all will marry the princess. What is the most wonderful thing? A juggling lion? A giant playing two pianos at once? How about a gazoo, a dimdoozle or a snozzle? Sit down to a serving of Pickle-Chiffon Pie to find out!

"You can never have too much Pickle-Chiffon Pie."

Visit the imagination of Hans Christian Andersen and the opulent court of a fashionista emperor. His vanity and ego take his court, and us, on an absurd journey, the result of which is a much deserved deflated ego.

The Emperor's New Clothes
by Hans Christian Andersen

Leap into spring with Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare. This comedy features young lovers Claudio and Hero, mischief created by both Don Pedro, prince of Arragon, and his brother Don John, and a battle of wits between would-be lovers Beatrice and Benedict. Mix in mistaken identity, trickery and a good dose of tomfoolery and you have one of our favorite Shakespearian plays.

"But then a star danced, and under that was I born."

Much Ado About Nothing

Come along on a rollicking lark presented by our Ensemble Players. The dogs delve into life with gusto. They snorkel. They howl at the moon. They ride a ferris wheel. They sing and dance and climb trees. Go Dog Go by P.D. Eastman in a madcap adventure adapted by Allison Gregory and Steven Dietz of Children's Theatre Company.

"Dogs in cars
Cars going fast
Where are those dogs going?"
