Kids On Stage students present After the Rain King
By Steph DeFerie
When Glory accidentally frees the imprisoned Rain King from an old book, he leaps out into the real world, ready to avenge himself on anyone he meets and expand his empire of despair. Pete, the local bully, joins forces with the Rain King, who promises to make him his right-hand man and heir. When the Rain King and Pete disappear back into the book, Glory and her friends can’t just stand by. Following Pete and the Rain King through pirate battles at sea, skirmishes among medieval knights, and a bank heist in the Wild West, the kids must defeat the Rain King and rescue Pete to set the world right again, and to have a hope of returning home.

Kids On Stage students present Anansi the Spider and the Middle Passage
By Frank Higgins
Long ago, the trade route called the Middle Passage brought stories as well as slaves from Africa to America . Kidnapped from her village, young Shontay is frightened and helpless. Shontay's mother comforts her by telling her legends of Anansi, the trickster spider, and how he won an amazing box of stories from Nyame the Sky God. In each tale, Anansi springs to life along with the story characters for action-packed, light-hearted adventures. Shontay and her mother have brought Anansi with them to America, where his stories of outwitting the greedy and powerful inspire them.
