Synopsis:
An amateur theater company proudly presents a classic 1920s murder mystery, but from the moment the curtain rises, the production is beset by an endless string of mishaps. As forgotten lines, misplaced props, missed cues, and unexpected interruptions threaten to derail the performance, the determined cast presses on with increasingly hilarious results. Packed with brilliant physical comedy, impeccable timing, and nonstop laughs, The Play That Goes Wrong is a theatrical comedy where the biggest mystery isn't whodunit—it's whether the show will make it to the final curtain.

Synopsis:
When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. Freaky Friday, a new musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update on an American classic. By spending a day in each other's shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another's struggles, learn self-acceptance, and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter.
