Toad’s bumpy path takes him to the Wide World where he is arrested and sent to prison. Although he manages to escape disguised as a Washerwoman, he falls into the clutches of a ruthless Thief. While searching for Toad, Mole and Rat become lost in the Wild Wood. Saved by the stern but forgiving Badger, the three animals rescue Toad from the Thief in the rousing conclusion. The charm of the story and the love the animals share for their world is underscored by delightful songs.

Rainbow Fish
2nd-8th Grade
Everybody loves the international bestseller and award-winning book, The Rainbow Fish, with its wonderful message of friendship and belonging. With shiny, multi-colored scales, Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in all of the ocean, and the only one of his (or her!) kind. But when Rainbow Fish refuses to share his vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature. Unhappy that no one adores him anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus, who helps him learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.
With bubbly, energetic dialogue and staging that invites wonderful creativity and flexibility, the universal message at the heart of this delightful musical becomes much more than just a simple children’s story.
