   Fables
   By Colleen Neuman

Rat wants to be an elephant.  Lazy Elephant puts Rat to the task of learning how difficult the work of an     elephant is, while he himself sits by watching.  But when Circus Man comes looking for a hard-working Elephant to hire, Rat gets the job! The moral of the story?  “Don’t count on your looks!”  A set of hysterical fables with wonderful characters and completely unpredictable outcomes, FABLES introduces young people to the form, while providing a rousing good time for everyone. Another deliciously witty play from the Wisconsin writer who gave us KERFAFELS (2007).
 

Delilah's Wish
By Mariah Richardson
Touring: September 2009-November 2009 and February-April 2010


Eight-year old Delilah lives in North St. Louis in a neighborhood full of all kinds of people. Her friend Stanley is always on punishment. As for Roy-Roy and Poochie, well, Grandma knows. She and Mr. Horowitz have been on this block so long, they everything. Except who's taking Mr. Horowitz's paper every morning, and why somebody would set fire to the Abu's store, and when Mama's coming home from Iraq.
