A VERY OLD MAN WITH ENORMOUS WINGS Fefe and Momo believe they know when they discover a winged old man who appears to have fallen out of the sky. Angel or not, the two children understand and protect the very old man against the exploitation of a town.
Fun and fantastical, this is a tale of superstition, survival and the nature of miracles.
Adapted by Pulitzer Prize-winner Nilo Cruz from a short story by the master of magic realism and Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez.

THE DROWSY CHAPERONE Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, this is a witty love letter to the extravagant musicals of the 1920s.  Bound to elicit hoots of laughter, “The Drowsy Chaperone” also depicts with much affection such characters as the glamorous showgirl (played by the Tony Award-winning Sutton Foster), who is giving up the stage for love and marriage and her debonair fiancé (Troy Britton Johnson)
