Song from the Sea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An original new play by Mike Kenny, one of the
England's award-winning writers, specializing in
young people's theatre.
Song from the Sea blends puppetry, music and visual
storytelling into a spellbinding performance!
Song from the Sea brings us into the world of Josh, a little boy who lives in a noisy house with a busy family. One day, through the household din, he hears a faint but beautiful sound calling out to him. So begins Josh's incredible aquatic adventure as the story behind the song reveals a wonderful and moving tale of hope. The Los Angeles Times calls it "A stand-out family theater experience."

Pippi Longstocking ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What child wouldn't want to live like Pippilotta
Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Ephrainm's
Daughter Longstocking?
She doesn't go to school, nobody tells her when to go
to bed, she carries a suitcase full of gold and lives
free of responsibility with a horse and a pet monkey!
See why these critics are saying: "Fast-paced action-packed staging...a delight for both children and adults...Pippi's zany antics infect everyone." -Artscape "A celebration of every child's dream of independence...mesmerizing, fanciful." -Star-Tribune Pippi (Jessie Shelton) attempts to blend in at a formal coffee party with Mrs. Granberg (Rebecca Lord) and Mrs. Settergren (Amanda Granger) in Pippi Longstocking at The Children's Theatre Company.
