The Wind in the Willows (All performances at 1 p.m.)

Based on the book by Kenneth Grahame. Follow Mr. Toad, Ratty, and Mole and their woodland friends on a musical adventure. The loveable characters from Grahame's classic tales will warm your heart and teach lessons about friendship.

Weekends in September, starting September 8*
Based on the play by William Shakespeare. Prospero and his daughter are shipwrecked on an enchanted island when another ship crashes and the crew struggle ashore. Watch what happens when Prospero encounters the spirits Caliban and Ariel, and employs their magic for his own personal gain. The dramatic opening shipwreck scene will engage children, but parents should exert discretion if they have very sensitive children. For more information, visit: theatre-hikes.org/tempest.html

Weekends in October plus Columbus Day*
A vegan couple find themselves in a pickle when Harry is bitten by a werewolf cub. Now he craves rare roast beef and gets very hairy at every full moon. Luckily, Dr. Frank Einstein and Madam Clara Voyant may have a cure! Meet a campy cast of characters in this spoof of the horror movies of the 1930s. Suitable for ages 8 and up, but may not be appropriate for children who are afraid of monsters. For more information, visit: theatre-hikes.org/werewolf.html
