THE WHITE ROSE
Friday, October 20, 2023 at 10:15AM
Recommended for Grades 6-12
"This play is a fictional dramatization set in Germany during World War II. It is based on the true story of Sophie Scholl and the resistance group known as The White Rose. In 1943, a group of university students in Germany were appalled at the truth which was coming to light about the Nazi Party. They started a resistance group aimed at bringing down Hitler and the Nazi regime. Their story is one of breathtaking courage, selflessness and utter faith in what is right. The efforts of The White Rose, referred to once as “quite possibly the single most heroic feat in European history,” are an inspiring tribute to the goodness of humanity shining even in the darkest moments of history."

MATILDA THE MUSICAL
Friday, March 29, 2024 at 10:15AM
Recommended for Grades 1-12
"Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher Miss Honey. During her first term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!
Matilda is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination." Music Theatre International
This performance will be abridged for school show performances.
