Synopsis
Students will be delighted by this musical comedy that explores how our bodies process and react to fear.
Milo and Clare are afraid…of lots of things. And there’s good reason when they find themselves trapped in Scareville one dark, haunted night, surrounded by six-foot spiders, zombies and Dr. Fear himself. Will they end up being eaten by Sally the Black Widow? Or will Mike the Zombie’s lesson on brains teach them a thing or two about fear?

Synopsis
Join Curious George, the inquisitive, lovable monkey-star of books, movies and the award-winning PBS television show in a brand new musical.
Once a year on All You-Can-Eat Meatball Day, George helped his friend, Chef Pisghetti, cook some delicious meatballs and serve them to the hungry crowd. But this year, the crowd had vanished! Something was keeping people away… and that something was a speedy Meatballs-o-Matic machine! Determined to help, George enters the Chef’s meatballs in the world-famous Golden Meatball Contest in Rome. With every swing and flip, George takes the audience through a fun-filled adventure, learning more about Rome… and meatballs… and the secret ingredient to cooking!
