Yertle the Turtle
Adaptation, Music & Lyrics by: Lory Lazarus
Inspired by Original Story by Dr. Seuss
Directed by Terese Giamarco
A ferocious dictator decides that he needed to rule more and so he commands the other turtles to climb back-on-back to build them a throne, higher and higher. One little turtle named Mac, the first brick at the bottom of the throne, pleads with his majesty to let the turtles free.

THE BUTTER BATTLE MUSICAL
Adaptation by: Lory Lazarus & Jill Bolstridge
Music & Lyrics by: Lory Lazarus
Inspired by Original Story by Dr. Seus
Directed by Kristy Boyd
Engaged in a long-running battle, the Yooks and the Zooks develop more and more sophisticated weaponry as they attempt to outdo each other. In this battle between the two neighbors, (over which way to butter your bread!), Dr. Seuss masterfully relates how petty differences must be considered in a constructive way

Stone Soup retold by Mehr Mansuri
Written by: Mehr Mansuri
Music & Lyrics by: Frank Sanchez & Mehr Mansuri
Directed by Audi S. Wilkens
Once upon a time, somewhere in post-war Eastern Europe, there was a great famine in which people jealously hoarded whatever food they could find, hiding it even from their friends and neighbors. One day a wandering group of gypsies came marching down the road towards the village asking to stay for the night. The townspeople seeing them coming, suddenly became very busy hiding their food, for gypsies are often hungry. There followed a battle of wits, with the gypsies equal to the occasion.
