Middle School, ugh. It’s the worst. Greg is determined NOT to be at the bottom of the popularity chart. He’ll leave that to his weird neighbor Fregley, or, maybe Greg’s best friend, Rowley Jefferson. But it’s not going to be Greg … no way. Will Greg’s plans lead him to sacrifice his one true friend? Can anyone avoid the dreaded Cheese Touch? Grab a hall pass, and don’t be late for an adventure familiar to anyone who survived middle school with this hilarious and heartfelt musical. Suggested for children ages 5-12.

The Little Red Hen is a time-tested tale about hard work and its rewards. When the hen asks for help from other animals – they say “not I.” But boy do they want to eat the cake that she bakes. This Sunset Playhouse musical remix tells the tale not once, but twice – just to make sure (with your help) the animals learn their lesson.
