Fall - 2022 Season

James & the Giant Peach

When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building.

Winged Wonders

For decades, as the monarch butterflies swooped through every year like clockwork, people from Canada to the United States to Mexico wondered, "Where do they go?" In 1976 the world learned the answer: after migrating thousands of miles, the monarchs roost by the millions in an oyamel grove in Central Mexico's mountains. But who solved this mystery? Was it the scientist or the American adventurer? The citizen scientists or the teacher or his students?

To Begin With

The story behind the the writing of one of the most influential stories ever written. The desperation, the romance, the triumph, and the tragedy of Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Finding himself poised to drag his family into financial ruin - despite his skyrocketing fame - Dickens is bereft, ashamed, exhausted. His marriage is beginning to buckle, and his own demons are creeping ever and ever closer - until a spark of an idea ignites, takes hold, and blazes into being.
