<http://www.geodesicmanagement.com/arcattack>  Two custom engineered
hand built Tesla Coils throw out electrical arcs up to twelve feet long,
each one acting as an instrument with a sound reminiscent of the early
days of the synthesizer. A robotic drum set accompanies the spectacle,
it's high power LED's flashing bright Sleeping Beauty

This musical adaptation from the original story by Charles Perrault
follows the plot of the traditional fairy tale, but adds delightful
surprises and comic situations. The Fairies' wondrous gifts to the child
are given until a single invitation to the party is missed. A prick on
the spinning wheel will take its toll on the kingdom. Will destroying
all the spinning wheels be enough to save the king's daughter? Find out
as this tale illustrates that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and
true goodness is found only in a loving heart. The script, music and
lyrics are by Richard Giersch. This is a Theater IV production.

Bunnicula

9:45 and 11:45 a.m., Monday, November 5, 2012
Running Time: 1 Hour - Tickets $5
Recommended for: Grades 2-6 

Lock up your lettuce! Protect your parsley! Rescue your rutabaga! A
floppy-eared bunny with mysterious habits is staking out its place in
Theatreworks USA's spine-tingling new musical co-written by
Tony-nominated playwright Charles Busch and based on the best-selling
books by James and Deborah Howe. Chester the cat and Harold the dog get
along like... well... cats and dogs, even though underneath their furry
exteriors, they're really the best of pals. But one dark and stormy
night, the Monroe family comes home from the movies with an orphaned
rabbit they found under their seats - a very strange baby rabbit who has
sharp fangs instead of buck teeth, and who sleeps all day and prowls
around his cage all night. Meanwhile, all the vegetables in the house
are drained of their color and turn white. Could this possibly be a
coincidence, or could Bunnicula be a vampire? Chester thinks so - he'll
stop at nothing until he vanquishes the new arrival, even if it means
the end of his friendship with Harold. Will Harold and Chester remain
friends? Will Bunnicula find his mother before it's too late? Will the
nocturnal assault on all that is good and green continue? Find out in
"Bunnicula." www.theatreworksusa.org <http://www.theatreworksusa.org/>
