We are devoted to leading your child through this exciting and important period of their lives.

DISAPPEARINGOF

JANUARY 22-FEBRUARY 28, 2015When Melissa receives a mysterious invitation to brunch from her mother after a two-year estrangement, she returns to home where nothing is as it seems. Fathers lie, friends leave and she herself is failing in the artist’s world she covets-as her mother practices the art of disappearing before her very eyes. The devastating truth she discovers in her parents’ house threatens to tear all of them apart for good. Will Melissa stay and fight for her family? Or will she disappear too?

MARCH 26-MAY 2, 2015Drew has a mind that remembers every moment of his life. Maybe that’s why he can’t let go of his ex-wife and why he still remembers the software he developed for unmanned flying vehicles for the military. Their son Nathan grew up feeling inferior to his dad and volunteered to go to war. He once met Ramiro, a pilot who never gets to fly, but fires weapons from a desert in Nevada. When Ramiro is held responsible for a predator-drone friendly fire incident, how will the survivors piece together a future while absorbing a wounded past?

SEPTEMBER 10-OCTOBER 17, 2015Like many little girls, Adam dreams of being a mermaid and marrying a prince. But Adam was born a boy. Or so everyone else seems to think. When reality is not to Adam’s liking, he retreats into a fairytale, winning Prince Eric’s love, despite a mermaid tail. Meanwhile Adam’s fiercely supportive parents are pulled in all directions as they grapple with keeping their son safe or giving Adam the freedom to be who she is.

Tommy

Set in the 1940s, Tommy is the story of a little boy who witnesses a murder. The trauma sends Tommy into a nearly catatonic state, becoming deaf, dumb and blind. Eventually, his only form of communica-tion becomes pinball and his wizardry with the flip-pers propels him into the national spotlight. Tommy is a story of hope, healing and human spirit that fol-lows this child’s journey from darkness to triumph. Based on The Who’s 1969 album, this one-of-a-kind production is filled with soaring anthems and burst-ing ballads, mind-exploding images and pulsating dance numbers. Be a part of the greatest rock op-era ever written. Fee includes transportation, ad-mission and escort.
