Elf the Musical Jr., A Christmas Carol, Sister Act
Elf the Musical Jr.
Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. He is raised, completely unaware that he is actually a human, not an elf, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth! With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and that his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

A Christmas Carol
Book & Lyrics by John Popa and Music by Steve Parsons
Based on the novella by Charles Dickens
This new retelling of Charles Dickens’ holiday classic follows the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge as he is visited by three ghosts on a fateful Christmas Eve.

Sister Act
Sister Act is the feel-amazing musical comedy based on the smash hit movie starring Whoopi Goldberg and Maggie Smith. Featuring original music by Tony® and 8-time Oscar® winner Alan Menken (Disney’s Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Newsies, Enchanted), dazzling dance routines and songs inspired by Motown, soul and disco, Sister Act is the funniest and funkiest musical around!
Sister Act tells the hilarious story of Deloris Van Cartier, a disco diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder. Under protective custody, she is hidden in the one place she won’t be found – a Convent!
