  • Henry and Mudge

    Moving from the city to a new
    house in the country can be tough. Just ask Henry, who can’t find a
    playmate in his new neighborhood! Luckily, he’s got Mudge, a great big,
    182-pound canine buddy, with whom he can share all kinds of adventures!

    Henry discovers that having a
    pet is a big responsibility — they need to be fed, they need to be
    taken out for walks, and of course they need lots of love and playtime!
    And when the dog is as big as Mudge is, they also need good training.
    Henry teaches his new friend to sit, heel, and shake his hand, but
    rolling over is one trick Henry just can’t seem to teach Mudge, no
    matter how hard he tries.

    When Henry’s cousin Annie comes
    for a visit, Mudge is so charmed by her that he finally rolls over at
    her command! Henry thinks Mudge must love Annie more than him, because
    the dog only does the trick for her. Very upset, Henry runs away into
    the cold dark woods to find adventures on his own. Mudge follow’s the
    boy’s scent into the forest—he really does love Henry and doesn’t want
    to be without him.

    Will the two friends be
    reunited? Find out in this Theatreworks musical, based on the
    best-selling series of books by Cynthia Rylant.

  • The Civil War

    Over one hundred and fifty years ago, the United States of America split in half as the north and south waged war against each other over preserving a way of life versus preserving the union. While decisions made by Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, and General Sherman affected the course of American history, ordinary Americans carried out these orders, and often made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The Civil War was a defining moment in American History – the fire of war burned away the scourge of slavery and, in time, melded the separate states into a true nation. In telling the tale of this large and complex event, this Theatreworks show focuses on the smaller stories of some of the soldiers who are caught up in it, including, Zak, a runaway slave who demands the right to fight his own fight; Will, his former best friend and “master;” Johnny, an Irish immigrant who volunteers to defend his new home; and Jackie, a girl who becomes a drummer boy.

    Written by the playwright behind Theatreworks USA’s The Great Railroad Race, Footprints on the Moon, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, this stirring production features traditional songs of the era while sensitively illustrating this complex, tumultuous chapter of American history. The Civil War illuminates the humanity and sacrifices of those who fought, and the many who died.
