A swamp chorus sings backup in this foot-stomping zydeco musical steeped in hot sauce. Petite Rouge reimagines the classic Red Riding Hood tale with a Cajun twist, swapping the forest for the Louisiana bayou and the wolf for a big, bad gator with a taste for gumbo.
When Petite Rouge—a fearless little duck—sets out on a journey through the swamp, she finds herself in a wild chase that barrels all the way to Mardi Gras. Along the way, she’ll need her wits, her courage, and a little help from the lively creatures who call the bayou home.
From the playwright and composer behind the Junie B. Jones and Miss Nelson musicals, Petite Rouge bursts with music, mischief, and Louisiana flavor—delighting audiences of all ages as it tours across Georgia.

A NATIONAL NEW PLAY NETWORK ROLLING WORLD PREMIERE
With Phoenix Theatre (IN) and Angels Theatre (NE)
In The Rocket Men, six women step into the roles of former Nazi scientists who became the backbone of the NASA team that sent America to the moon. These men fled Germany after World War II, remaking their lives in the American South and trading one allegiance for another—building the machinery of the space race while carrying the weight of their past.
Told with theatrical invention and gripping urgency, Crystal Skillman’s new play confronts the uneasy bargain between ambition and accountability. Moving between past and present, it unravels the buried truths behind a celebrated chapter of U.S. history and forces us to reckon with the costs of progress.
A National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere, The Rocket Men launches a conversation about power, complicity, and the stories we choose to celebrate.

Based on Leo Lionni’s beloved Caldecott Honor book, Frederick is a heartwarming musical that celebrates the power of imagination and the beauty of being yourself.
While the other field mice are busy gathering seeds and grain for the winter, Frederick quietly collects something different—sunlight, colors, and words. When the cold season arrives and the food runs low, it’s Frederick’s stories and poems that feed the spirit of the community, reminding everyone that there’s more than one way to be useful, and more than one kind of gift worth sharing.
This joyful, music-filled tale invites audiences of all ages to embrace their unique gifts and find their place in the sun.

With the crack of a bat, Marcenia Lyle rounds the bases with ease and slides into home. Catching the Moon, a blues-infused musical, tells the spirited story of a young Black girl who grew up to become “Toni Stone,” the first woman to play for an all-male professional baseball team.
As a kid in the 1930s, Marcenia could outrun, outplay, and outshine anyone on the field—but she had to fight for every inning she got. When opportunity knocks in the form of a summer baseball camp run by the legendary Gabby Street, she faces a new challenge: proving she belongs in the game, no matter what the rules say.
Bursting with rhythm, drive, and heart, Catching the Moon celebrates the power of determination, the thrill of the game, and the courage it takes to change it forever.

A dancer who can’t dance spends days wrapped in a bed sheet. A woman and a doctor dig into a troubled past. A man alone wrestles with desire. A stranger carries the weight of a life shaped by war.
With piercing grace, this world premiere follows five lives—intersecting across war zones, bedrooms, and therapy sessions—as they navigate the fragile space between devastation and hope. Each encounter leaves an imprint, drawing a shifting map of connection, disconnection, and the relentless search for healing.
Written by Catherine Yu, In Spite of My Ambivalence is a poetic, unflinching exploration of how we process trauma, how we love in its shadow, and how survival is rarely a straight path.
