Monsters, Mice, and Machines

Three of our favorite books of all time - one beautiful play

In the same vein as our Skywalker Show we will bring:

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

(https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19543.Where_the_Wild_Things_Are?from_search=true)

MRS. FRISBEE AND THE RATS OF NIMH

(https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9822.Mrs_Frisby_and_the_Rats_of_NIMH)

and HUGO

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9673436-the-invention-of-hugo-cabret

to life on stage this winter. Winter is a perfect time to snuggle up with a good read and to see it come to life! This is your chance to be inside these classics! Each play will share a cast with other plays but create its own unique vision on stage. We encourage each and every participant to read all three books before starting!
