Immersive One Act

When three young women stumble upon an unfinished gallery in an abandoned wing of a museum, they find themselves face to face with a past that has been shoved out of the history books. This new play challenges people, particularly young audiences, to be bold, active change-makers. We can live history as we create our own.

Eleven-year-old Izzy loves a good mystery story, but she never thought she'd be wrapped up in an actual one in real life!  When she and her family move into a new apartment, Izzy meets the Twelve Curious Cousins, a rowdy bunch who normally rule the halls of the whole building...except when they all mysteriously disappear at dusk.  Where do they go?  Izzy is determined to find out!  Inspired by The Twelve Dancing Princesses by the Brothers Grimm, The Mystery of the Twelve Curious Cousins is a new modern twist on this classic fairytale and explores adventure, bravery, and the power of friendship.

Thirteen-year-old Mallory Li’s world is about to be turned upside-down and inside-out, and she is not happy about it.  But who would want a new stepmom who is making you leave your beloved New York City to move to a new weird place called Suburbia?  Refusing to accept all this change, Mallory runs away.  With her little sister Lily in tow, Mallory gets swept away into a fantastical land full of interesting (and sometimes scary!) creatures like Alliterators, Conundrums, and Cliffhangers.  With their lives in peril, can Mallory and Lily find their way home?
