Performances & Events
Matilda JR.
Presented by JenStuckeyHome
Our junior mainstage summer show is Matilda Jr. (music & lyrics by Tim Minchin, book by Dennis Kelly). Join us for performances on June 22, 2025, in the Grace Gamm Theater at the Dairy Arts Center!
Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence... and special powers! She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!
101 Dalmatians KIDS
Presented by JenStuckeyHome
Join us for performances of the Disney classic 101 Dalmatians KIDS on July 20, 2025 in the Grace Gamm Theater, brought to you by our youngest Parlando actors!
Pet owners Roger and Anita live happily in London with their Dalmatians Pongo and Perdita, stalwart dogs devoted to raising their puppies. Everything is quiet until Anita's former classmate, the monstrous Cruella De Vil, plots to steal the puppies for her new fur coat. The Dalmatians rally all the dogs of London for a daring rescue of the puppies from Cruella and her bumbling henchmen.
New Musical Project 2025
Presented by JenStuckeyHome and Sponsored by Track & Trail Arts/Lisa & Jeff Navarre
Emerging musical theater composers have opportunities to see their works brought to life in front of an audience in the early stages of creation and student & community actors have opportunities to gain stage experience with new material and improve their performance skills.
Audiences are given opportunities to interact with new work and the local theater community is given opportunities to connect and collaborate.
New Musical Project allows us to discover and share new works by underrepresented composers & expand the musical theater repertoire of the actors and audience.
