A New Superhero Play by Emilio Rodriguez

In a world of heroes and villains, where do you belong?  

Jordan doesn’t fit in at school and spends every free moment immersed in comic books. A sudden invitation to attend Haven High, a school for superheroes, sends Jordan on a journey of self-discovery to find their place in the world. Is Jordan doomed to be a villain or will they prove to be a superhero after all? 

But What Can You Do?

Touring February 3 - March 30, 2025
Public Performances TBD

By Myah Gary
Based on the picture book by Arika Parr and Ava Johnson
with illustrations by Misra Karahan

All of Ava’s classmates seem to excel at many things…especially cartwheels! Ava is not so good at cartwheels, and after many attempts - and just as many tumbles - she feels sad. But with a little encouragement from her mom, Ava makes an exciting discovery. Though she may not be able to do some things, she has countless other talents. And they should all be celebrated!

Jacked!

By Idris Goodwin

Stream Jacked! to your classroom, homeschool, or learning pod!
Back by popular demand, it’s Jack and the Beanstalk with a modern-day twist. In this reimagined world, Jack and his mother struggle to live happily ever after. When his farm can't feed him, his community can't support him, and his mother can't take care of him, Jack takes matters into his own hands. After climbing the beanstalk and stealing the giant's goose, Jack flees home and discovers the goose's golden eggs have a mysterious, intoxicating power that turns his world upside down. How can something so good make everything bad? Can Jack turn things around to save his village?

The play is 40 minutes long and is best for ages 5 to 11.
