Theatreworks USA presents: Pete the Cat

Based on the book by Andrew Clements, Nicolas Allen has created a new word! A pen is no longer a pen – it’s a FRINDLE. His new word spreads like wildfire and a power struggle erupts with his strict language arts teacher Mrs. Granger. A fun and inspiring story about creative thought and the power of words.

Treasured Stories by Eric Carle brings together old favorites and new friends. This triple-bill highlights three of Eric Carle’s most beloved tales: The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See, and Papa Please Get The Moon For Me.

Doktor Kaboom explores the fundamentals of electrical energy and the history of humanity’s adventures into its potential. Topics covered include: Tesla, Edison, lightning bolts, current, voltage, light emission, sparks, magnetic fields and much more!

Adapted from the book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, the gods of Mount Olympus walk straight out of the pages of Percy Jackson’s Greek mythology textbook and into his life. To succeed on his quest, Percy must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.
