It's 1876, Christmas is in jeopardy, and one quick-thinking nine-year-old just captured an elf. Santa's Boots is a warm, witty, and wonderfully chaotic adventure set in the charming New England seaport of Mystic Harbor. When Lizzy and her uncle stumble upon Santa's trusted elf Mistletoe on a desperate mission to save Christmas, Lizzy strikes a bargain: she'll help, but only if Mistletoe can prove Santa is real. Funny, heartfelt, and rich with themes of belief, community, and the rekindling of wonder, Santa's Boots is a joyful holiday experience that sparks meaningful conversation in and out of the classroom.

And when a brave prince follows his heart to the tower where Rapunzel waits, their combined courage, loyalty, and determination just might be enough to change everything.

Patience is one of the earliest and most important lessons a young child encounters, and one of the hardest. Hurry Up...and Wait is a charming new Theatre for the Very Young (TVY) production that follows two siblings through the wonderfully slow adventure of planting seeds and waiting to see what grows. Warm, funny, and gently interactive, this new work for children ages 0–5 gives young learners a joyful entry point into conversations about patience, nature, and the quiet rewards of slowing down. A wonderful complement to early childhood curricula in social-emotional learning and early science discovery.

Cheerful Frog. Grumpy Toad. Four seasons. One truly great friendship. Based on Arnold Lobel's beloved stories, A Year with Frog and Toad is a whimsical, warmhearted musical that follows two wonderfully mismatched best friends through a year of adventure, laughter, and gentle life lessons. Part vaudeville, part make-believe, and all charm, this joyful production is a natural complement to classroom conversations about friendship, empathy, and celebrating what makes each of us unique, brought to life through the magic of live theatre!
