Moving from the city to a new house in the country

in his new neighborhood. Luckily, he's got Mudge,
a great big, 182-pound canine buddy, with whom he
can share all kinds of adventures! Henry discovers
that having a pet is a big responsibility -- they
need to be fed, they need to be taken out for walks,
and of course they need lots of love and playtime!
But when Henry’s cousin Annie visits, Henry thinks
Mudge must love Annie more than him. Very upset, Henry
runs away into the cold dark woods to find adventures
on his own. Mudge follow's the boy's scent into the
forest -- he really does love Henry and doesn't want
to be without him. Will the two friends be reunited?
Find out in this Theatreworks musical, based on the
best-selling series of books by Cynthia Rylant.

Tubman, the intrepid conductor of the Underground
Railroad, in a fascinating series of highly theatrical
scenes that use dance, dialogue, and traditional music
of the period. Tubman was born a slave, but when she

plantation. Pursued by dogs and relentless slave catchers,
she followed an escape route laid out by Quakers –
secret hiding places in churches, barns, cellars and
homes. The escape route that Tubman followed soon
became known as the Underground Railroad. In the dark
of night Tubman made 19 secret trips up creek beds
and through swamps, guiding more than 300 slaves to
freedom. “Freedom Train” is a story of self-sacrifice,
dedication, and survival, laced with warmth and a
sense of humor that celebrates the human spirit.

Nine-year-old Peter Hatcher's life would be sweet
if it weren't for Fudge, his toddler terror of a brother.
Two Beans Productions captures all the humor, sibling
rivalry and elementary school angst of Judy Blume's
book in their play “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing,”
Fudge seems to get away with everything, whether he's
throwing a tantrum at the shoe store, acting like
a bird on the jungle gym and knocking out his two
front teeth, or scribbling all over Peter's homework!
It's enough to make him feel like a fourth grade nothing!
When Peter's beloved pet turtle disappears, he just
knows that Fudge is behind it. This is the last straw
-- how can he get his parents to pay attention to
him for a change?
