Two musical treats, appropriate for children and adults! A Musical Adaptation of Dr. Seus’s YERTLE THE TURTLE features a ferocious dictator who commands the other turtles to climb back-on-back to build him a throne, higher and higher. One little turtle named Mac, the first brick at the bottom of the throne, pleads with the majesties to let the turtles free. Adapted by Lory Lazarus for stage, Yertle the Turtle tells the story of a courageous turtle named Mac who dare to challenge his ruler.

CHANGE REACTION OR THE ORANGE RIVER THAT WOULD BE BLUE is an environmental musical for kids of all ages written by Westchester artists Lin Snider and Bobbe Bramson.  Through an encounter with a sick fish (Fred) and his friends, three children discover a group of corporate executives who are callously insensitive to the fact that their company is polluting the river.  Incensed, the kids decide to do something about it. The story grapples with important contemporary issues, yet is told with a unique blend of humorous and fanciful elements.
