Children's Theater presents One in a Million
Children's Theater presents One in a Million
Ever dream of winning it big? For Sunny, a foster child at the Bloomfield’s house, her dreams usually don’t involve $2.8 million! But when she finds a winning lottery ticket on the floor of the local Quick Mart, her world is quickly turned upside down, spinning the entire Bloomfield house into hysterical chaos. At their best, oddball patriarch Oliver is a crazy inventor whose inventions refuse to cooperate, his librarian wife, Carrie, is rather scatterbrained, and Grandma can’t find her teeth. Things heat up when a grim state employee arrives to try to take Sunny and her sister away from the Bloomfields. With loads of over-the-top characters and a sweet, surprise ending, this play is certainly One in a Million.
Fee: $8
May 13 - 6pm
May 14 - 4:30pm
May 15 - 2pmTickets go on sale two weeks in advance of performance.
Teen Theater presents Paranormal High SchoolTeen Theater presents Paranormal High School
The drama class at Bram Stoker High School, home of the Fighting Tarantulas, wants to perform Macbeth. As they get into rehearsals, they scoff about the curse of the Scottish play. But then strange things start happening in the theater thanks to the ghosts of two actors from the 1920s. Paranormal investigators from a cheesy TV show, eager for a “real” story, inspect the facility. Hopefully, they can document some ghostly hijinks to save their show from getting the ax! With nods to Shakespeare and old theatre superstitions and a large cast with lots of exciting roles, this easy-to-rehearse play has something for everyone.
Fee: $8
