Show synopsis: What do you do when the ferocious, fire-breathing dragon from all your favorite stories turns out to be different than you expected?  Widget, a shepherd boy from a medieval village, along with his little sister Kit and best pal Hairytoes, stumbles across the lair of a dragon thought to be extinct. Not only is Mortimer the dragon very much alive, he enjoys drinking tea and playing Scrabble, rather than burning down villages and gobbling up fair maidens. When the local bullies, led by Prince Chadwick, spread rumors about the dragon, the village calls upon Saint George the Knight to face the fearsome foe! It's up to Widget and his friends, with the help of the Master Gurus from the Mountain, to train the dragon and save the day!

Show synopsis: Best-selling mystery author Byron Pembroke is dead.  Soon after, his highly dysfunctional family gathers on a dark and stormy evening for the reading of the will.  Each family member has their own reason to believe they’ll receive the bulk of Byron’s estate, but the family soon finds out that the deceased didn’t think much of them.  Instead of naming an heir, Byron instead condensed his fortune into one mysterious object and left it to...  whoever finds it first! Before greedy family members are able to put together individual plans of their own, the mansion is overrun by a horde of strangers seeking shelter from the storm.  And once the strangers find out about the hidden treasure, they soon join in the hunt. Who will find the treasure first?  Byron’s spoiled, self-serving family members?  The bickering trio of ghost hunters?  The nosy news team?  Or the busload of obnoxious tourists?

Show synopsis: A play so unique and ridiculous, it's as if the writers of The Addams Family and Monty Python collaborated on a murder mystery farce! When Becky Hagswater, an American tour guide in the upper highlands of Scotland, has her bus break down in front of a spooky old Manor, strange things begin to happen. Becky and the American tourists soon learn that they have arrived on the eve of the Peasantjabber Curse: the one night of the year when the  Peasantjabber family goes mad. And then the first murder strikes. With a bumbling investigator bungling the case, a budding, forbidden romance in the air, and buried secrets comically clawing their way free, this farcical take on the murder mystery genre shines through its wildly inventive, memorable, and hilarious characters.

Show synopsis: James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece... and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching. The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. One of Sondheim's most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically sophisticated show, with an air of dark comedy.
