Synopsis: Prepare ye for the timeless tale of friendship, loyalty and love based on the Broadway musical that inspired a generation. A group of disciples help Jesus Christ tell 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.

Synopsis: Matilda The Musical
Step into a world where imagination has no limits and one extraordinary little girl discovers the power of standing up, speaking out, and believing in yourself. Based on the beloved story by Roald Dahl, Matilda The Musical brings one of the most cherished childhood tales to life with heart, humor, and unforgettable theatrical magic.
Matilda Wormwood is a brilliant young girl with a love of books, a fearless imagination, and a surprising gift that makes her anything but ordinary. While her careless parents fail to see her incredible potential, Matilda finds a champion in her kind-hearted teacher, Miss Honey, who recognizes the spark inside her from the very beginning.
But Matilda’s new school isn’t exactly a dream come true. The terrifying headmistress Miss Trunchbull rules with an iron fist and has no patience for children who dare to be curious, creative, or courageous. With cleverness, compassion, and a little bit of magic, Matilda inspires her classmates to find their voices and discover that even the smallest person can make a mighty difference.
Filled with show-stopping dance numbers, unforgettable songs, and a celebration of courage, friendship, and the power of being yourself, Matilda The Musical is a nostalgic adventure for the whole family. Whether you’re introducing a new generation to a childhood favorite or reliving the wonder of a story you loved growing up, this joyful, high-energy musical will delight audiences ages 6 to 106.
