Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
A MUSICAL FOR ALL AGES AT THE NOVEMBER THEATRE
Music by Marc Shaiman, Lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, Book by David Greig, Based on the book by Roald Dahl

When Charlie Bucket finds one of the five golden tickets to the Wonka Chocolate Factory, he and the other winners cannot wait to explore this world of sweets, treats, and pure imagination. But once inside, they embark on an extraordinary journey through Willy Wonka’s marvelously madcap mind and soon discover that nobody leaves this factory the same way that they arrived. This whimsical musical is fun for the entire family.

Love That Dog
Adapted by Andrew Frank and Jason Howard; Based on the book Love That Dog by Sharon Creech

Based on the best-selling kids’ book by Newbery Medal-winning author Sharon Creech, this compelling one-person show tells the story of a boy and his dog as he discovers the power of his own voice. Weaving poetry by Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams and Walter Dean Myers, it’s an utterly delightful and surprisingly moving experience for audiences of all ages.

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus
Script and Lyrics by Mo Willems; Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma; Based on the book Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems

This show is even more fun than staying up late! It’s not easy being the Pigeon — you never get to do anything! But when the Bus Driver has a crisis that threatens to make her passengers late, maybe that wily bird can do something. Featuring an innovative mix of songs, and feathers, this musical is sure to get everyone’s wings flapping.
