TWO BY TWO
Music by Richard Rodgers, Lyrics by Martin Charnin
Book by Peter Stone
This lovely musical, based on Clifford Odet's play "The Flowering Peach", brings to the stage the tale of Noah's family and their famous voyage as you've never heard it told before. The final creation of composer Richard Rodgers, Two by Two was originally written as a showcase for the brilliant comedian, Danny Kaye, and it lovingly explores many of the eternal questions of life and faith.
Suitable for the entire family.

OUR TOWN
by Thornton Wilder
A classic American play tracing everyday life in a small New England town circa 1901, Our Town won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1938. Moving and sentimental, it celebrates how simple life seems when we look back to an earlier time from a distance of thirty years. A touching, universal story that moves everyone who experiences it.
Suitable for the entire family.

This contemporary musical relates the touching and thought provoking story of a young woman who gets off a bus in the small town of Gilead to start a new life. After getting a job at the local restaurant, The Spitfire Grill, she eventually befriends the crusty owner, but the arrival of the newcomer causes upheaval in the dusty town and the uncovering of her story forces the other inhabitants of the town to confront their own problems and prejudices.
