What could possibly go wrong?
Two down-on-their-luck Shakespearean actors find themselves relegated to performing "Shakespeare's Greatest Hits" at Mooselodge functions have hit rock bottom. When they hear about a woman in New York looking to leave her fortune to her long lost nephews, they figure they are good enough actors to pull off the roles and win the fortune. But when they get there they find she is looking for neices, not nephews. Well... of course they could pull of those roles too. They are Shakespearan actors, of course. What could possibly go wrong?
"Ken Ludwig gives the audience something powerful and potent:
laughter and a guiltless evening of Theatre-going."

Oh! The Thinks You Can Think!
Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical JR., a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
