Love Letters by A R Guerney
April 9 – 18, 2021
Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards.

The Imaginators By Dwayne Hartford
May 7 – 9 & 14, 15, 2021
Anne and Tim are the new kids in the neighborhood. Determined to make a good impression for the popular kids in school, Anne forbids Tim to play with the girl next door, the amazing Nina Francis Elizabeth Vanderhelden. When Nina does arrive, she starts playing with Tim using packing boxes and objects found in them to create a fantastic world of make believe. Anne, reluctant to join the game, soon gets caught up in the fun and adventure of defeating the imaginary Mooklecratz. Through play, they discover the worth of their personal strengths, the value of cooperation, and the unlimited power of imagination.
