This noble Chinese folk tale features an extraordinary heroine, a dynamic and powerful score, gorgeous costumes and one of the most inspiring stories of all time. Ages 4 +

Based on the life of our nation’s longest-surviving Buffalo Soldier and veteran of the Spanish-American War, this dramatic play with music tells the heroic story of the brave soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalries, who served our country well, with little of the recognition they deserved. Named one of the “Best American Plays for Young Audiences” in 1996, Buffalo Soldier is the only play to have been performed at the Pentagon. Ages 8 +

The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical. When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she’s dispatched to serve as governess for the children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, but when Austria is invaded by the Nazis, they demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy, and the family must plan their escape. This timeless classic features such musical favorites as “My Favorite Things,” “Do, Re, Mi,” “Edelweiss,” “Climb Ev'ry Mountain,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” and, of course “The Sound of Music.” Be sure not to miss this wonderful heartwarming story! Ages 8 +
