RUMPELSTILTSKIN | SAT NOV 9

This performance is part of the Lehigh Valley Reilly Children's Hospital Family Series.

When an off-the-record adoption goes awry, Jeenu's new parents learn just how far a wolf will go to defend its pack. Wolf Play is a messy, funny and disturbing theatrical experience grappling with a wolf, a puppet, and the very problem of "What is a family, and what do we need from families today? Is it very different from what humans have needed from families before?" Jessie Dean, director.

Back by popular demand, 101 Years of Broadway recreates great moments from the finest shows such as The Phantom of the Opera,  Les Miserables, CATS, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Jekyll & Hyde. Amazing performers light up the stage with songs from the hit shows in which they starred.
