clock-green lgDare to enter a world of enchanting stories with Alvis and Sydney, two kids attempting to unlock the secrets of their uncle’s mysterious clock shop. Each time they climb through his magical grandfather clock, they are swept away to a land of exciting stories – each more heart-pounding than the last. But these adventures may trap them in the clock forever!  In order to escape, they will need help from the audience!

Stories include: The Frog Prince (Germany), Sanji and the Tigers (India), and The Feathered Ogre (Italy).

Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Madcap Puppets are nationally recognized for engaging and original children’s theatre productions, as well as in-school educational programs that include performances, workshops and residencies.

Children’s learning experiences are enriched with performances based on world literature and cultures, thanks to our partnerships with schools and libraries across the country.

Grease

Youtheatre presents is fall presentation of “Grease: School Version”. This show will consist of area students in grades 7-12. Directed by Harry Stockton and Zach Thomas.

Here is Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys” and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as “Greased Lightnin'”, “It’s Raining on Prom Night”, “Alone at the Drive-In Movie” recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An 8-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals along with innumerable school and community productions place Grease among the world’s most popular musicals.

Performances will take place at:
