Magic Tree House: Dinosaurs before Dark KIDS is an adaptation of the first of Mary Pope Osborne’s award-winning fantasy adventure books from the Magic Tree House book series, which has sold more than 100 million copies and is available in more than 100 countries around the world.  Jack and Annie’s tree house transports them back in time to the age of the dinosaurs, where the siblings courageously learn that things are not always what they seem.

Siblings, Jack and Annie, discover a tree house full of books while exploring one afternoon. Jack looks through a book about dinosaurs and wishes he could see a real one. Suddenly, the wind begins to blow and the tree house starts to spin wildly. When it finally stops, Jack and Annie open their eyes to find they have been transported back to the time of the dinosaurs.  Jack and Annie have a harrowing adventure, befriending some dinosaurs along the way as they try to make their way back home.

Godspell, Jr.
Originally Adapted and Produced for the New York Stage by Edgar Lansbury, Stuart Duncan, Joseph Beruh
Originally Conceived and Directed by John-Michael Tebelak
Music and New Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
———————
A group of friends share different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, are employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life!
Godspell Jr. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI.) All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. MTIShows.com.
Sponsored in part by: National Endowment for the Arts, Hawk Family Foundation, Ronald McDonald House Charities of NEPA, Michael Straub Photography, Lackawanna County Department of Arts & Culture, PA Council on the Arts and Fidelity Bank.

Pet owners, Roger and Anita, live happily in London with their Dalmatians, Pongo and Perdita, stalwart dogs devoted to raising their puppies.

The Dalmatians rally all the dogs of London for a daring rescue of the puppies from Cruella and her bumbling henchmen.
