A Christmas Carol

August 8, 2025 By

A spectacular musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’s most well-known story great for the WHOLE family!

Adapted by Cash Tilton
Original music by Susan Mondzak

Ebenezer Scrooge is a rich grouch who believes personal wealth is more valuable than the happiness and comfort of others. With an infuriated “Bah! Humbug!” Scrooge sums up his feelings about Christmas, but he’s forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts on Christmas Eve lead him through his past, present, and future. Thanks to their guidance, Scrooge is transformed, recognizes his past behavior, and greets Christmas morning with cheer before spending the day reconnecting and sharing love with those who mean the most to him.

The show celebrates the spirit of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa.
The role of Tiny Tim is selected from the audience before the show!

*CLOSED* Musical Theatre Kids Acting Classes – SHREK The Musical – Summer 2025

Musical Theatre Kids Acting Classes – SHREK The Musical

Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in Shrek The Musical, based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and fantastic Broadway musical. It’s a “big bright beautiful world” as everyone’s favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance. Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.

Once upon a time, in a faraway swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.

Sundog Fringe Presents a Double Bill: “It’s a Mystery” & “Cabin Fever” – both plays, all dates

April 17, 2025 By

Experience not one, but TWO outstanding original plays from the United Kingdom, direct from the world’s largest arts festival—Edinburgh Festival Fringe! 

Written and performed by their original creators at the Fringe,
these critically acclaimed productions make their U.S. debut in Staten Island.

CABIN FEVER

WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY:
AURELIA HARRIS-JOHNSTONE AND BETH MILES
60 minute performance

Fasten your seatbelts for a sky-high spectacle with Cabin Fever. Fresh !nk Theatre Company presents a hilarious theatrical journey set 30,000 feet above the Atlantic! Join us on an unforgettable flight from London Heathrow to LAX, where two actors bring to life a flight full of passengers. This two-person comedy takes turbulence to a whole new level, delivering an engaging, uproarious experience as the characters’ stories unfold. From unexpected friendships to in-flight shenanigans, Cabin Fever offers a unique perspective on the comedy that unfolds within the confines of an airplane. Buckle up for a theatrical joyride in this entertaining, must-see show…at cruising altitude!

“Cabin Fever is an exquisitely scripted and delivered piece of theatre. Given a free choice, I would book it in as a “must see” show, one of our highest accolades. Few sell out a Fringe run before their run starts.”
THE DEREK AWARDS

“…. these girls would be a shoo-in for a development meeting about a prime-time family TV comedy.”
BROADWAY BABY

                                              ~ BRIEF INTERMISSION~

 

IT’S A MYSTERY!

WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY:
TIM BENZIE
60 minute performance

The audience is summoned to the drawing room to help solve a mystery as Tim takes on the role of detective, examining clues that drew him to the genre as a child, to eventually lapping up the entire works of Agatha Christie as a teenager. Tim Benzie, acclaimed creator and host of Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote, presents his new one-man show, a hilarious and moving exploration of the enduring appeal of murder mysteries. It’s a Mystery will appeal to fans of the genre and anyone who’s ever wondered whodunnit (and why)!

“Tim Benzie’s It’s a Mystery! is a surprisingly enjoyable and intriguing murder mystery show that even published authors of the genre might find entertaining and thought-provoking.” EDINBURGH REVIEWS

“In true mystery fashion, It’s A Mystery! doesn’t just entertain with its light-hearted exploration of the genre—it also holds a carefully laid twist that speaks to something more profound.”

Musical Theatre Kids Class – Legally Blonde Jr

Legally Blonde: the Musical JR chronicles the journey of the famously perky Elle Woods, a fashion-savvy, UCLA sorority girl

who finds her life turned upside down when she is dumped by her boyfriend Warner.

In an effort to prove to Warner that she is more than just some blonde sorority girl, she follows him to Harvard Law, where she struggles to fit in and do well.

Ultimately, she defies expectations and manages to stay true to her delightfully pink personality.

Students learn:

…focus, imagination, creation, and theatre games, while rehearsing for a final performance.  A fun way to work with other young people! Students have the opportunity to develop theatre and public presentation skills as they rehearse for a production where they can make friends and work as a team.
