Having knocked critics off their feet and swept awards in New York City, Chicago, The Edinburgh FringeFestival, and London, TheBomb-ittyofErrors is now coming to Portland. The Bomb-itty of Errors is a high-paced, energetic, musical 'add-rap-tation' of William Shak espeare's TheComedyofErrors.Elizabethantimesgetpumpedupwithlivehip-hop flavor (that's right a live DJ on-stage interacting with the actors) in this hilarious, award-winning show.

Villains are threatening New Mouse City, and the only hope is our reluctant hero, Geronimo Stilton! In this "enormouse" adventure, Geronimo is launched into space on a top-secret mission to save the day!  Based on the wildly popular book series featuring Geronimo and his pals, Thea, Trap, and Benjamin, this story will "rocket" your family to another world.
