Why go: The musical features actors ranging in age from 5-18 from all schools in the district making it a truly a community-wide production. The musical tells the story of Maria and the Trapp Family. It moves from Maria's postulant days at Nonneberg Abbey, to her days with the Trapp children, and the terror of the Nazi Annexation of Austria. (Remember there are two casts performing on different nights.)

Why go: The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos, including Jojo, a Who child who gets in trouble for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge--not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird.
