Music & Lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin PaulBook by Timothy Allen McDonaldBased on the Book by Roald Dahl

Back by popular demand, CTYP’s smash-hit musical returns! When young James Trotter is shipped off to live with his wretched aunts, he longs for a real family and a new home. All seems lost until he discovers a magical giant peach inhabited by fantastical creatures. Together with Grasshopper, Ladybug, Centipede, Spider, and Earthworm, James embarks on an extraordinary adventure, sailing across the sea to distant lands.

This powerful coming-of-age tale brings to life the charm and ferocity of a cast of memorable animal characters. Deep in the Indian jungle, the human Mowgli is discovered and raised by wolves. With the help of Baloo the bear, Bagheera the panther, and Akela the wolf, Mowgli is tutored under the codes and traditions of the jungle’s hunters: “We be of one blood, you and I.” But when Shere Khan’s prejudice pits the tiger against the young “man-cub,” Mowgli is forced to stand up for himself.Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French

Adapted by Allison Gregory and Steven DietzAdapted from the book “Go, Dog. Go!” by P.D. EastmanMusic by Michael Koerner

P. D. Eastman’s classic children’s book comes to life on stage in an exploration of movement, color, and music. The dogs delve into life with gusto, creating a visual spectacle for the audience to feast upon. They snorkel. They howl at the moon. They ride a Ferris Wheel. They sing and dance and climb trees. The musical’s bustle and commotion pauses every so often for a moment or two of reflection, and then sweeps us again into the whirlwind of these lovable and goofy dogs.

audiences for you and your students. We have a wonderful collection of stories to share with you. We can hardly wait for the adventures ahead!

It fosters imagination and a love for the arts, something that will stick with a child for a very long time—even after the play is over.

By Maurice SendakOriginally adapted for the stage by Carol Healas and TAG Theatre, GlasgowProduced by Presentation House Theatre

When the rambunctious boy Max is sent to bed without supper, he finds himself transported to a faraway island inhabited by mighty Wild Things. Max earns their respect and becomes their king, setting off on a playful romp through the night. In this highly interactive production, the audience helps to transform Max’s bedroom into the various landscapes of his adventures from a rolling ocean to a forest. The audience then becomes the Wild Things as we are each given a mask and encouraged to “let the Wild Rumpus begin!”
