Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in the ocean and the only one of their kind.  When Rainbow Fish refuses to share their vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature. It takes a friendly little fish, a goofy starfish, and a helpful octopus to teach the Rainbow Fish the value of friendship.

THE COMMEDIA CINDERELLA

APRIL 29 – MAY 21

By Lane Riosley

A lively troupe of commedia players loves the story of Cinderella so much that they try to improve upon it. Arlequin, the mischief-maker, boasts about getting the role of the prince. But Columbine gives Punchin the prince’s role making Arlequin the prince’s servant instead! Full of slapstick shenanigans, dance, music, and wit, this re-telling of the classic tale gets a wonderful Commedia dell’arte spin.
