My Heart in a Suitcase (Grades 4-8)
Set in WWII Germany, ArtsPower's gripping tale shows the strength of the human spirit. To save their daughter, Anne Lehman's parents may have to say goodbye forever. Anne must find the strength within herself to remember love and hope, while surviving with the help of other's and her own tenacity. Based on a true story of the Holocaust this show spotlights the importance of fighting against intolerance and respecting our fellow humans.

Madeline and the Bad Hat (Grades K-4)

ArtsPower's original musical based off of Ludwig Belemans's Madeline series tells a story of mistaken first impressions. Pepito, the Spanish Ambassador's son, seems to be an absolute horror to Madeline and her friends. However, when he finds himself in real danger it is up to Madeline to rescue him. This great tale of how our enemies can become our best friends will charm parents and children alike.

Catch the Wave (Grades 2-5)

Investigate the magic of sound and music with science educator and performing artist Mary Walsh. A lively, interactive presentation uses water balloons, whoopee cushions, musical instruments, and much more to show how instruments make music and how sound travels through different mediums.

More Frog and Toad (Grades Pre K- 2)

Frog and Toad, two of Arnold Lobel's most loved creations, continue to show how good friends support each other through the good times and bad, no matter what adventures life throws in their way. Produced by Wild Swan Theatre, the same people who brought you last season’s Stega Nona and the Magic Pasta Pot.
