Adapted by Reginald André Jackson
Based on the book by Christopher Paul Curtis

It’s 1963 and the Watsons, an African-American family, journey from Flint, Michigan to Birmingham, Alabama to take their troublesome son, Byron, to live with his grandmother, a trip that lands them in one of the darkest moments in America’s racial history. A fictionalization of the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, Curtis’ novel won the Newbery Honor and the Coretta Scott King Awards.

Recommended for 5th Grade and older.

Dragons Love Tacos

By Ernie Nolan
Based on the book by Adam Rubin with illustrations by Daniel Salmieri

Dragons love tacos. They love chicken tacos, beef tacos, great big tacos, and teeny tiny tacos. Unfortunately, where there are tacos, there is also salsa. And if a dragon accidentally eats spicy salsa… well, watch out!! The silly, dragon dancing journey about first impressions and trying new things is a recipe for laughs and fun!

Cast & Creative Team

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Based on the MGM Motion Picture
Music and Lyrics by Richard M. Sherman & Robert B. Sherman
Adapted for the Stage by Jeremy Sams
Licensed Script Adapted by Ray Roderick

Caractacus Potts and his children, Jeremy and Jemima embark on the ride of a lifetime with their out-of-this-world car, the one – the only – Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! Based on the beloved film, this “Truly Scrumptious” musical is a high-flying, fun-filled adventure for the entire family.

Recommended for Kindergarten and older.

What audiences are saying:

“I am a full on LOVER of the original ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.’ I was ready to sing ALL the songs (My car is even nicknamed Toot Sweet)! I was also ready to be potentially disappointed if the play didn’t live up to the movie I love so much. But the production was phenomenal!!!! The actors and actresses were so extraordinarily talented, the set was beautiful – it was truly a wonderful experience!” -Carynn H.
