Last Stop on Market Street 

Your Neighborhood. Your Sound. 

Every week after church, CJ’s grandmother drags him all the way to the other side of town. CJ thinks it’s scary downtown. But his grandmother shows him how full of music and life the city can be when you learn how to listen to its unique rhythms. Based on the picture book, Last Stop on Market Street is a musical journey celebrating the many different personalities and cultures that make a neighborhood sing.

Bookworms 

Your Storytime. Your Adventure.

A library is a space of wonder and imagination, but what goes on Beyond The Bookshelves? Little ones gather for storytime, but as the stories begin they find that something… or someone… has mixed them up! When the mischievous bookworms arrive from Beyond the Bookshelves and ask the Storyteller for help, the audience must decide what to do and write their own story! 

Bookworms is a Theatre for the Very Young (TVY) production, which means it’s specifically designed to be a first-time theatre show for ages 2-5. With a shorter run time, fewer words in the script, and no shushing – it’s the perfect family outing for our littlest audience members! 

Come join us beyond the bookshelves! Buy your tickets now!
