The Quest
July 1 - July 10, 2026
By: Marisa Kirby
Adapted from the book The Three Questions by Jon J Muth
Based on a short story by Leo Tolstoy
Celebrate kindness, courage, and compassion in this movement-driven theatrical adventure! Jon J. Muth’s beloved retelling of Leo Tolstoy’s timeless fable, The Three Questions, comes to life in a visually rich and captivating production. Physical storytelling transforms the stage into a world of discovery as the story unfolds with heart and imagination, gently revealing the universal truths about what matters most.
Performances: July 1 (Colonial), July 2 (Lisbon), July 3 (Weathervane), July 8 (Colebrook), July 10 (Weathervane)
Beauty and the beast
July 15 - July 24, 2026
By Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve
Adapted by Kathryn Schultz Miller
Join us for this tale as old as time in a fresh and lively adaptation brimming with humor, heart, and theatrical magic. Step into an enchanted castle where a brave young woman meets a fearsome Beast—and discovers the heart beneath the fur. Romance, comedy, and colorful characters swirl together in a fast-paced, family-friendly adventure to reveal a powerful message: true beauty is found within.
Performances: July 15 (Colonial), July 16 (Lisbon), July 17 (Weathervane), July 22 (Colebrook), July 24 (Weathervane)
Snow White and the Magic Go Go Boots
July 29 - August 7, 2026
Once upon a time, when pigs spoke in rhyme, a duck-billed stork delivered Snow White, and chaos ensued. With a bossy magic mirror, a reluctant prince, Girl Scout adventures, and go-go boots, this fairy-tale spoof is packed with songs, jokes for all ages, and audience fun. A goofy, heart-filled ride proving that happily ever after rarely goes according to plan.
Performances: July 29 (Colonial), July 31 (Weathervane), August 5 (Colebrook), August 6 (Lisbon), August 7 (Weathervane)

Big Roles, Bigger Dreams
August 12 - August 21, 2026

The next chapter of Broadway Bound is here! These performers are all grown up and can’t play the kid roles they once loved, but now they dream of the big roles they hope to play one day. Full of fun Broadway songs, dancing, and acting, this show will make you want to sing, dance, and cheer along! Whether you love performing or just love to dream, this show is all about imagining big and believing anything is possible.
