Authentic Community Theater

Our audiences will see a new twist on the classic tale of Peter Rabbit (an eager helper hoping to work together with those around him to make the garden thrive) and Farmer McGregor (who is unaware and failing at keeping the farm running efficiently).

Bring your children (and children at heart) to be a part of this live interactive performance, complete with actors, music, and costumes!
