Whatever you do, don’t let the Pigeon star in his own musical production! With a script written by Mo Willems, the creator of the #1 New York Times best-selling, Caldecott Honor award-winning Pigeon picture books, and featuring music by Deborah Wicks LaPuma, TheaterWorksUSA’s Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus! The Musical! is even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party! 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 (gasp!) late, maybe that wily bird CAN do something. MORE

Emmy award-winning Manual Cinema of Chicago has adapted Edith Nesbit’s 1910 novel The Magic City for a live, cinematic shadow puppet show. Using overhead projectors, paper shadow puppets, actors on camera, and live music, Manual Cinema’s adaptation updates the novel with a modern retelling. The Magic City tells the story of nine-year-old Philomena, whose great love is building miniature structures out of books, toys, and other found objects from around her house. One night, Philomena wakes up to discover that her city has come alive. As she steps through the city gates, her adventure begins. MORE
