Magic School Bus – Climate Challenge
Seatbelts everyone! Ms. Frizzle’s students are putting on a play about global warming, and they need some cold, hard facts. From the arctic to the equator, they see telltale signs of climate change and learn how conservation, recycling and alternative energy can make a difference.

Kenya Safari Acrobats
Hailing from the heart of Africa, this dynamic dance troupe takes acrobatics to exhilarating extremes, performing a non-stop ride of gravity-defying human pyramids, balancing, tumbling, limbo dancing, hurling through hoops and breathtaking contortions, dressed in native Kenyan costumes and accompanied by a joyful Benga beat.

The Adventures of Zorro    
A mysterious figure has arrived in town. A flurry of a cape, the glint of a sword and a flash of a mask; who is this baffling character? Exciting friend or formidable foe? Watch as our masked champion ricochets from one sticky situation to another in a world where justice is the name and adventure is the game.
