Little Shop of Horrors

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
You won’t believe the mayhem—and fun—in this hilarious Christmas tale when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on!

They are determined to be in the annual Christmas pageant and the congregation is horrified. But sometimes compassion and generosity come from the most unexpected places.

Seussical
The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton faces a double challenge—not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
