DESCRIPTION: Who is the American belly dancer? Where did she get her style? Sparkling costumes, a variety of dance styles and lively music all combine to answer these questions while entertaining audiences of all ages.

CONTENT: A wide range of costuming from ethnic country style to Middle American nightclub should please moms as well as dads and be appropriate for children. Appropriate language and entertainment for families.

DESCRIPTION: A showcase of this unique woman’s even more unique music. These masterpieces of originality will be interpreted by Blake Jones, Mallory Moad, David Kelley, George Rotalo, Ron “Doc” Morse, and Nate Butler with additional musical accompaniment by Martin Hansen and Mike Newton. Proceeds from the performances of “Beyond The Moon” will benefit Storyland maintenance and restoration.

DESCRIPTION: The General reflects on his involvement in the war- from his uneager reentry into military leadership at the start of the war, through his triumphs and defeats on and off the battlefield, and ending in his leading the Union forces to victory. It is a must-see for students of the Civil War and American history in general. The play truly allows the audience to experience ‘Grant’- the man, the legend, the leader.

DESCRIPTION: The piece is based on Augustin Lira’s new book, “The Garden of Eden”, ‘An Autobiography of Augustin Lira’s Life, Part 1`”. The story is taken from his childhood, a time when he and his family lived in a labor camp in the San Joaquin Valley (the camp was close Five Points). It deals with the human interactions of the families struggling to survive and maintain a sense of community. The piece speaks of the problems that Lira’s mother encountered while they lived in the camp. It was more than an economic struggle, it had to do with learning how to overcome ‘baser’ elements that could have led to tragedy.

DESCRIPTION: Essie Nadine learns how to make it on her own after her husband takes a swandive into his Cheerios in “The Young Widow’s Guide to Auto Repair”; Matthew and Emily come to terms with blue periods, beans, and fireflies in “Parting Of The Red Sea”; Rick and Elaine negotiate infidelity and elbows in “Sleeping Bag”.

DESCRIPTION: It’s Mystery Meat, guaranteed to tantalize the taste buds and titillate the tummy. Not even the chefs know how (and if) we’ll pull this one off each night. Will Yanks Yalalowski ever get his green card? Will Shmoopie back the show? Will the sun come up tomorrow? And what is it with those damn cell phones? A silly romp at its deadliest.
