December 4 @ 9:30 AM One Appalachian Christmas The year is 1936. Christmas is coming but Addie Parker and her friend Clyde Runion are afraid that “Santy Claus” wonʼt be coming to their poor little town in the Appalachian Mountains.

But, the two are determined to make the holiday the best it can be. Pa has been laid off from the saw mill and times are spare, but with some hard work and the help of family and friends, they learn that the best Christmases donʼt come from the pages of a mail order catalog. A part of the Arts Education program.

March 16, 2018 @ 9:30 AM & 12:30 PM Flight School Itʼs the first day of Flight School, where they teach birds to fly.

Penguin has the soul of an eagle and is ready to live on the wind. But he wasnʼt built to soar, as the other birds constantly remind him. Penguinʼs spirit wonʼt be grounded. With some friends of a feather, and a little help on the technical parts, Penguin follows his dreams to flip, flap, fly! With book by Cara Lustik, music by David Mallamud, and lyrics by Joshua H. Cohen, Flight School The Musical is based on the book Flight School from best-selling author Lita Judge. A part of the Arts Education program.

January 23, 2018 @ 9:30 AM & 12:30 PM Freedom Train Freedom Train tells the thrilling story of Harriet Tubman, the Moses of her people, in a fascinating series of highly theatrical scenes that use dance, dialogue, and music of the period.

Songs include “Follow the Drinking Gourd,” “Steal Away,” “Wade in the Water,” “Good News, the Chariotʼs A-cominʼ,” and many others still sung today. Freedom Train is the story of self-sacrifice, dedication and survival, laced with warmth and a sense of humor that celebrates the human spirit — a universal story for all. A part of the Arts Education program.

February 15, 2018 @ 9:30 AM & 12:30 PM Lightning Thief Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school…again. And thatʼs the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percyʼs Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, heʼs angered a few of them. Zeusʼs master lightning bolt has been stolen and Percy is the prime suspect. A part of the Arts Education program.
