AMELIA BEDELIA, the beloved children's book character, finally comes to life on stage! Have you ever wondered what Amelia was like when she was young? Have you ever wondered what crazy situations Amelia got herself into before she grew up? Now, the story we've all been waiting for: the history of Amelia Bedelia! Join Amelia and her family on a rollercoaster of confusion and fun as they discover where they came from, and where they will travel to next.

MULAN is the action-filled story that starts when the Huns invade ancient China. In an effort of defense, Fa Zhou enlists in the army despite his age and infirmity. To save his life and uphold his dignity, his daughter Fa Mulan poses as a man and enlists in his place. Mulan risks her life and identity on the way to becoming a celebrated war hero. This stage version of Disney's film "Mulan," complete with its songs "Reflection," "Honor to Us All" and "I'll Make a Man out of you" combines action with humor in a musical adventure for all ages.

SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL:
We have all the characters from Dr. Seuss,
They're off of the page and out on the loose!
Horton the elephant, Gertrude the bird!
And JoJo the thinker who thinks a new word!
The Wickersham Brothers, the Sour Kangaroo,
And all of the Who's play a major role too!
And of course we can't have a big show like that
Without our emcee – the Cat in the Hat!
From Whoville to the Circus to the Jungle of Nool,
Why we'll even take you to McElligot's Pool!
Fun for all ages and sizes and kinds
With big imaginations and open-upped minds!
