Summary: A queen puts her subjects to the test: who will move the large boulder from the road? Anyone kind enough to move the stone will be handsomely rewarded with a job as royal counselor to the queen! A host of wacky characters pass through the scene as the queen and her faithful servant, Barcarole, watch from a hiding place to see who will be unselfish. Certainly not Rigoletto, the pompous barber, who refuses to risk bruising his precious hands. Will the burglars do the job? Ha! More passers-by include the snobby Mrs. Brenzinski and her bratty children, a disgruntled milkman, a runaway school principal and a retired gypsy fortuneteller, not to mention Fenster Fibb, the tax collector, who scares off some of the travelers simply by showing up! At this rate, it seems that no one will pass the queen's test! Join the queen and Barcarole as they come to see how actions, not complaints, often get a job done in this playful adaptation.

Summary: Neil Simon's Pulitzer Prize winning play tells the story of two young boys who are left in the care of their hardened grandmother while their father desperately tries to earn money as a traveling salesman.

Summary: Stingy old Ebenezer Scrooge is known as the meanest man in London. He overworks and underpays his humble clerk, Bob Cratchit, whose little son, Tiny Tim, is crippled and may soon die. He also has nothing to do with his nephew, Fred, because of his marriage to a girl Scrooge did not approve of. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his dead partner, Jacob Marley and is warned that if he does not change his ways, he will spend eternity in chains. Scrooge is then haunted by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future, as he is given one last chance to redeem himself.
