Our Current Production!
Full production: Four Performances. Tickets $10 (ALL ticket income goes to local charities) WEEKEND MATINEES --ALL at 3:00 PM--- February 16, 17, 23, 24
Using plenty of humor and songs, the story of Humpty Dumpty Cracks Up: A Musical About Bullying, Bathtubs, and Babysitting is about Jack, a teenager struggling to cope with being picked on and feeling like a misfit. The fact that Jack has the same last name as Humpty Dumpty is just the beginning of his problems with kids who like to tease. On his journey, he learns important life lessons from some unexpected sources: the kids he reluctantly babysits, his dreams populated by characters from nursery rhymes, and adults who seem too good to be real. Will Jack crack under pressure and be put together again? Or will he come out stronger than ever? Original lyrics are set to familiar tunes of popular folk material and kids’ songs. LIMITED SEATING. Reservations by e-mail or advance purchase.

Our ticket income for this and the mainstage shows are always 100% is donated to local non-profits and charities. This time, we are giving your ticket money to schools for anti-bullying programs and the Helen Keller Services for the Blind in Brooklyn. Why the latter? Because a key member of our volunteer group happens to be blind and was trained there, and there's a connection to our script because he inspired a character who is blind--- and he plays that character. (He also plays harmonica!)
