Corduroy

DECEMBER 11, 2021 – JANUARY 23, 2022
Adapted for the Stage by Barry Kornhauser
Directed by Kathryn Chase Bryer

We all need a friend, and Lisa is instantly drawn to the perfectly imperfect teddy bear on display at the department store. If only she can convince her stressed-out mother to buy Corduroy for her! Meanwhile, Corduroy is determined to find his missing button and become worthy of going to a real home. After the store has closed, he goes on a hilariously destructive search–with the Night Watchman in comical pursuit. Full of mischief and clowning, this story of unconditional love, based on the books by Don Freeman, captures both the humanity and the merriment of the holiday season.  Best for ages 3-9.

The safety of our audiences, artists, and staff, is of the utmost importance. We follow CDC and government protocols/recommendations to keep your family safe.  All performances will be reduced (50%) capacity to welcome families observing strict social distancing. For more information click here.

“The play emphasizes slapstick humor that leaves its audience delightfully impaired by extreme laughter.”

Ballonacy

JANUARY 15, 2022 – FEBRUARY 20, 2022

A beautiful, movement-based show that revisits the classic film The Red Balloon. Nothing can go right for the character of the old man, whose days are gray and dreary–until he is visited by a friendly red balloon. In the playful physical style of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, the old man–an adult version of the boy in the film–regains his youthful spirit, with the help of the red balloon! Produced by special arrangement with Plays for New Audiences.
