A silly adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass, Wonderland! is an upbeat coming-of-age story for audiences of all ages.  Familiar characters from the familiar story of “Alice in Wonderland” team up with a variety of new characters:  a baseball team, a gospel group, a train conductor, star-struck  tourists, and light-saber-wielding knights, among others. This delightful production is accompanied by an eclectic mix of toe-tapping tunes that include upbeat genres of music such as doo-wop, gypsy swing, and bluegrass.

This fresh holiday tale transports audiences to the familiar Mother Goose Land and the magical, mysterious Toyland.  In Mother Goose Land, the villainous Barnaby has fallen in love with sweet Mistress Mary Quite Contrary, and is convinced that if he can’t buy her love, he’ll force her to marry him.  Mary refuses. What transpires is an exciting adventure through Mother Goose Land, Toyland, and the scary Spider Forest as nursery rhyme characters try to protect Mistress Mary and bring her together with her true love, Alan.

Additional lyrics by Dick Scanian.


Taking place in New York City in 1922, this romantic spoof of the Jazz Age tells the story of the small-town girl Millie Dillmount, who has moved to the city in search of a new life for herself.  In the city she finds flappers, dashing men, and a villainess who is up to no good – it’s up to Millie to save the day!  A popular, multiple Tony Award-winner, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” transports audiences into the roaring ‘20s with upbeat songs and fun dance numbers that will entertain the entire family.
