True Story of the 3 Little Pigs
Opens Saturday May 16!

Our new show is a "courtroom musical" set in Piggsylvania! At last you can hear the wolf's side of the story, in this rollicking adaptation of Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's popular book. In our musical, the audience becomes the jury and chooses the ending for the play! Join us for plenty of fun, music, and .... ham.
