A rambunctious group of travelling actors decides to perform the famous fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. This commedia dell’arte performance features actors in exaggerated masks recreating the story of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, complete with slapstick comedy and a healthy dose of silliness. This world-premiere comedy will have kids and parents in stitches!
Themes: good conquers evil, what to do when meeting strangers, helping others
For all ages.

Nick and his family are leaving their native country of Homeland and moving to America. But upon arrival in the “land of opportunity,” they discover a wildly different culture and are struck by prejudices they didn’t expect. In Dennis Foon’s clever play, Nick and his Homelander family speak English while the Americans speak a gibberish language, allowing the audience to experience what it is like to be an outsider overwhelmed by a new place.
Themes: prejudice, bullying, cultural differences
