Sister Maria, a postulant at Nonnberg Abbey in Austria, is not your typical nun.  In fact, she's a problem.  Her constant singing and her day-long jaunts into the Alps force the sisters of the abbey to send her away to act as a governess for the Von Trapp family nearby.  Upon meeting the seven Von Trapp children and their father, it is clear to Maria that things around the villa need to change. 

Featuring some of musical theater's classic moments and most cherished songs—including  Do-Re-Mi, Edelweiss, My Favorite Things, Climb Every Mountain, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, and So Long, Farewell—The Sound of Music contains magic for the whole family!

Homer Smith is looking for a life of freedom after being discharged from the army.  When his old station wagon passes a group of nuns working a dry field, he stops to offer his assistance.  One day of hired labor stretches into months of unpaid work for Homer as he slowly adapts to, and becomes a part of, the nuns' way of life. 

What starts out as an unlikely pairing of a Southern Baptist soldier and a Roman Catholic nun from Germany blossoms into an incredible mission that unties a community and inspires them to have faith, whether is be in a higher power or in each other.

Appropriate for ages 10 and up.

Directed by Joe Hendren

Johann Andreas has a problem.  His family's business—the Andreas Wasp Infested Inn—can't seem to turn a profit in spite of its prime location on the shores of Lake Huron.  When an eccentric, marooned pirate captain shows up with a treasure map and promises Johann half of the booty, he has no other choice but to weigh anchor and head out.

Can Johann survive the treacherous waters of the Great Lakes with a scabrous band of pirate foes and the maniacal and elusive field octopus liable to attack at any moment?  A swashbuckling comic adventure, these Midwestern pirates with a flair for the dramatic are sure to have you land-lubbers "har-har-ing" all evening long.

Family fun for ages 7 and up.

$14 Tickets  •  $12 for Seniors and Students  •  $16 for Box Seats

Pirates of the Great Lakes is produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.  (www.playscripts.com)
