As Small As Stars

By Will Murdock

Directed by Kelli Leigh-Ann Connors

 

Night after night, George and Mary Darling wait for their children to return from wherever they've gone. If they ever knew of Neverland, they've long forgotten. When magic starts creeping into their lives, Mary and George have to decide: should they keep going as they have been... or finally choose to believe?

Esther! The Musical

With Upside Arts

​

Some might think that living in a retirement home would be dull and slow paced, but that's not the case for Esther! Snubbed of victory in last year’s Annual Statewide Bingo Jamboree, Esther looking forward to the sweet taste of redemption... and the jello and cribbage to follow.
