This musical comedy is great for the entire family.

Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad, Day - February 24 - March 4, directed by Ryan Michael Haase - Nothing is going right for Alexander today, not school, not family, not his best friend, not anything. Sometimes it's just hard being a kid and getting through the day. And we all have bad days... A fast moving musical, this show is geared toward elementary and middle school children.

Rachel the Clever! - March 24 - April 1 - directed by Jimi Kinstle is a new-play collaboration with the Center for Jewish Education! Pumpkin Theatre has asked Moses Goldberg (former Artistic Director of Stage One! in KY) to adapt a BRAND NEW PLAY based on a Jewish folk tale - Rachel the Clever.

You're a Good Man Charlie Brown - June 16 - 24 - directed by Jimi Kinstle. This musical review is a nostalgic show perfect to share with the next generation of Snoopy lovers. Will Charlie Brown ever meet the red headed girl? Can he win just ONE baseball game? Will Lucy's advice ever cost more than a nickel? Sally and her philosophy, Schroeder and his love for Beethoven, Linus and his blanket; this show is timeless and ageless. Happiness is...sharing an afternoon with the family and some fun, fun theater.
