Peter Pan is an adapted version of J.M. Barrie's classic tale created by John Caird and Trevor Nunn. This touring production explores the journey of a group of children in turn-of-the-century London who use their imaginations to re-enact the story of Peter Pan. This story empowers children to create their own world of make-believe. As the children fly to Neverland and escape the evil Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, they recognize the importance of friendship as well as the value of being part of a family. This production encourages children to let their imaginations take "flight" and to create their own adventures using household objects as props and puppets as characters. (Approximately one hour in length; study guides available upon request.) TheatreworksUSA

Have you ever had a really rotten day? Alexander has... He wakes up with gum in his hair, he trips on a skateboard, and then he accidentally drops his sweater in the sink - all before breakfast! Alexander can already tell - it's going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day! Alexander's day continues to go downhill as he gets smushed in the car on the way to school, his teacher doesn't like his drawing of an invisible castle, and Paul doesn't want to be his friend anymore. There's no dessert for lunch, there's lima beans for dinner, and even worse: there's kissing on television! It's enough to make you want to move to Australia! Laugh and sing along with Alexander's misadventures in this hilarious musical, featuring book and lyrics by Judith Viorst, author of the best-selling classic book. Discover along with Alexander that sometimes, everyone has a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. (One hour in length; study guides available upon request.) TheatreworksUSA

Moving from the city to a new house in the country can be tough. Henry can't find a playmate in his new neighborhood! Luckily, he's got Mudge, a great big, 182‑pound canine buddy, with whom he can share all kinds of adventures! Henry discovers that having a pet is a big responsibility - they need to be fed, they need to be taken out for walks, and of course they need lots of love and playtime! Henry teaches his new friend many tricks, but rolling over is one trick Henry just can't seem to teach Mudge. When Henry's cousin Annie comes for a visit, Mudge finally rolls over at her command! Henry thinks Mudge must love Annie more than him. Very upset, Henry runs away into the cold dark woods. Mudge follows the boy's scent into the forest. Will the two friends be reunited? Find out in this musical based on the best-selling series of books by Cynthia Rylant. (One hour in length; study guides available upon request.) TheatreworksUSA
