This is an original musical by Michael Sgouros and Brenda Bell, based on the famous novel. This is not the long-running Broadway show by andrew Lloyd Webber. This description is provided by the production: "Based on the classic novel by Gaston Leroux, this heart-racing musical unravels the mystery of a passionate man living deep beneath the grand Paris Opera House. Was he a madman? a musical genius? Or just a lonely soul yearning to be loved? The answer carefully unfolds in a beautiful and intimate production filled with intrigue, romance, danger and desire."

Stone Soup

Set in the Revolutionary War America, two lost soldiers stumble upon the "perfect" village while searching for food and shelter. Unfortunately, the villagers are not so willing to share with these weary men until the soldiers begin to make their favorite meal-Stone Soup. This classic fable, told with mirth and music, makes us realize that anything is possible if we all work together. To further the message of community, the audience is asked to bring canned goods to place in our soup pot which will be given to City Harvest. Recommended for ages 3 to 103! In addition to the one-hour musical, the audience receives a special treat-interactive arts workshops prior to the performance (they begin at 10am). Here the audience learns about the original book and how we turned it into a musical. We discuss the themes of the show and how the arts bring literature to life. Then the kids and their families make a special art project and take it home as a souvenir. Now when they watch the show, they are familiar with the art forms and themes represented in the production
