Under the Big Top Circus

Run away with the circus as the Happy Faces Entertainment ringmaster takes you into the excitement of the big top. Your trip to the circus comes complete with a circus tent, music, magic, juggling, and audience participation. Enjoy the world's strongest flea, amazing tightrope walker and special guest, The Great Dingalings!

Miss Nelson is Missing
This program brings to life the longtime favorite characters of the "Miss Nelson is Missing" series. This hilarious reading of the classic tale of wayward students learning to appreciate their demure instructor provides an opportunity for young students to see storytelling come to life. Follow the outrageous actions that poor Miss Nelson must take when she has the most horribly behaved class in school. (Ages 5 and up) Registration is required.
