The Great Nitwitty Mystery
MAIt's just another day at Miss Nitwitty's School for Girls.... Or is it? Miss Nitwitty is in a tizzy (known at the school as WittyTizzy) because the school mascot, her Teddy Bear Bunky, is missing! Whooooodidit? That's the mystery crackerjack private eye Sam Spaid is hired to solve. Are the culprits the ladies from the basketball team, or the girls from the theatre class? Or are the pernicious perpetrators the lads from the Lawrence J. Fine School for Boys? The only way to find out is to see THE GREAT NITWITTY MYSTERY...Thirty six talented student actors will join two adult actors to reveal Whooooodidit!

The Producers
MAThe plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.

Seussical the Musical
The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
