That master of imaginative enchantment, C.S. Lewis, has created a unique world and he invites children to walk into it and enjoy both surprise and adventure. An old house in rural England becomes the home base for four children who wander into an incredible country through an old wardrobe and help the country return to summer. In the incredible Narnia, they make friends with the frightened forest people who have almost given up hope for the return of good King Aslan, their true ruler. When Aslan was there, it was always summer. There is a great battle to see whether this magical country will remain under a wintry spell or will, once again, know freedom and summer under good King Aslan. A charming play about courage and the love of freedom.

We’ve all heard the story of Cinderella a thousand times, but we’ve never heard about Bob, her long lost twin brother! Living in the same kingdom, but with different wicked stepfamilies. When Lou the UPS Guy arrives with invitations from the Kingdom of Wychwood-under-Ooze, Cinderella and Bob are both thrilled but forbidden to attend the festivities. With the help of the Fairy Godmother, the Godfather, two enchanted gerbils and a lot of luck, they find a way! On the night that Cinderella crashes Princess Petunia’s birthday ball, Bob has similar designs on Prince Percy’s kingdom-wide baseball game. When the two strangers disappear at midnight after Cinderella hits a game winning homerun, the search is on to find the feet that fit the glass slipper and the muddy cleat!

Grannie Smith and her charming but clumsy granddaughter, Petunia Pearl, run the Hoot ‘n’ Holler Hotel. Sadly, they’re behind on the mortgage, and even Sheriff Kirk Ketchum and his self-appointed deputy, Hal Holdem, can’t seem to stop dastardly villain Duke Dreadful from swooping in and buying up the place. So when world traveling Bonnie Voyage returns from a trip to Italy and suggests a spaghetti sauce contest with enough prize money to pay the mortgage, Grannie and Petunia enter to save their beloved hotel. But Duke will stop at nothing to get what he wants — which includes the hand of Petunia — and enlists the help of accomplice Saucy Sally to cheat his way to victory. Can Sheriff Ketchum save the Hoot ‘n’ Holler…and win the heart of his true love? Let’s hope it’s not “Mission Im-Pasta-ble!”
