About the Show:
The exceptional tale of Milo, Tock and a certain magic tollbooth
is brought splendidly to life on stage
in this adaptation of the beloved children's book.
Even surrounded by dozens of toys, Milo is bored,
but The Phantom Tollbooth comes to the rescue!
Transported to the Land of Wisdom, Milo is thrust into adventure
when two Princesses need rescuing.
Knee-deep in danger, language and math along the way, Milo learns everything has a purpose.

This coming-of-age stage adaptation of the novel is seen through the eyes of Ponyboy, a teen on the wrong side of the tracks. An encounter sets off a chain of events that exacerbates the long-standing rivalry between the Socs and Greasers. This incident catalyzes a sequence of events that leads to heroic acts, introspection, and a deeper understanding of the shared humanity across social divides.

The Hundred Dresses

Wanda Petronski just wants to belong, but in a 1930s American town, her Polish name and worn clothes make her an easy target. When classmates tease Wanda for claiming to own a hundred beautiful dresses, Maddie knows it is wrong but stays silent. After Wanda’s family moves away to escape the cruelty, Maddie is left grappling with guilt and the cost of saying nothing. Based on Eleanor Estes’ beloved book, this poignant story explores bullying, courage, and the power of standing up for what is right.
