Upcoming Shows

JUNIE B JONES JR. JANUARY 16-18
Step into the colorful and hilarious world of Junie B. Jones, the spunky and outspoken kindergartner with a big heart and even bigger personality! Follow Junie B. as she navigates school, friendship, and family with plenty of laughter, surprises, and life lessons along the way. This fun-filled musical captures the ups and downs of childhood with charm and humor that everyone will enjoy.

Join us for a lively production full of catchy songs, clever storytelling, and the joyful spirit of being a kid.

Biblical Reflection 

Junie B.’s adventures remind us that every child is wonderfully made and uniquely gifted. As Psalm 139:14 says, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” This story celebrates the joy of being yourself and the importance of embracing God’s design in our lives.


TUCK EVERLASTING THE MUSICAL MAY 8-10
Discover the timeless story of the Tuck family, who hold a mysterious secret: they never age. When young Winnie Foster stumbles upon their hidden world, she must decide between the promise of eternal life and the beauty of life’s natural journey. Filled with heart, wonder, and tough choices, Tuck Everlasting explores the meaning of time, love, and what it truly means to live.

Join us for a thought-provoking and moving production about courage, the cycle of life, and finding peace with the path God has for each of us.

Biblical Reflection:
In a world that longs for permanence, Tuck Everlasting reminds us of Ecclesiastes 3:1 “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” Life’s seasons teach us to trust God’s perfect timing and purpose in all things.
