The classic tale of the toy bunny that longs to become real comes to life. The audience's imagination converts three actors and their simple props into a wise old rocking horse, a cavalcade of mechanical playthings, and a kind-hearted fairy. And of course, a stuffed rabbit that is transformed by the love of a young boy. "The Velveteen Rabbit" is a joyous testament to the wonder of a child's imagination. TheatreworksUSA

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's tale of "The Ugly Duckling," this is the story of a young duckling that has never been able to fit in with the other ducklings. Born into a family that does not accept him because he looks different, he is constantly ridiculed, until he grows up and discovers that he is a beautiful swan. One of the first children's stories to encourage self-esteem and acceptance, this heartwarming journey through the awkwardness of adolescence to grace and maturity teaches all of us to dare to be ourselves!

Theatreworks USA's production of "Charlotte's Web" is based on E.B. White's loving story of the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little gray spider named Charlotte. Wilbur has a problem: how to avoid winding up as pork chops! Charlotte, a fine writer and true friend, hits on a plan to fool Farmer Zuckerman – she will create a "miracle." Spinning the words "Some Pig" in her web, Charlotte weaves a solution that not only makes Wilbur a prize pig, but ensures his place on the farm forever. This treasured tale, featuring mad-cap and endearing farm animals, explores bravery, selfless love, and the true meaning of friendship. TheatreworksUSA

The Civil War was a defining moment in American History – the fire of war burned away the scourge of slavery and, in time, melded the separate states into a true nation. In telling the tale of this large and complex event, this Theatreworks production focuses on the smaller stories of some of the soldiers who are caught up in it, including Zak, a runaway slave who demands the right to fight his own fight; Will, his former best friend and "master"; Johnny, an Irish immigrant who volunteers to defend his new home; and Jackie, a girl who becomes a drummer boy. This stirring production features traditional songs of the era while sensitively illustrating this complex, tumultuous chapter of American history. TheatreworksUSA

Martha was an ordinary dog until the day she ate a bowl full of alphabet soup. Something unusual happened: all those letters went up to Martha's brain instead of down to her stomach. And she became literally outspoken! Life with a talking dog can be lots of fun… You can amaze your family and friends, you can play tricks on the pizza delivery person, and you can even teach your pooch how to use the telephone! Martha's clever way with words saves the day in this doggone funny new musical based on the delightful "Martha Speaks" series of books by Susan Meddaugh, published by Harcourt Mifflin. Watch the television series "Martha Speaks" on PBS Kids. TheatreworksUSA
