The kids in Room 207 are the wildest, most rambunctious class in the entire elementary school. Their sweet teacher Miss Nelson doesn't know what to do. She starts each new school year with a smile on her face, expecting an even better class than she had the year before. This year is different. This year is a nightmare. Poor Miss Nelson is out of ideas and on her way to a nervous breakdown, when suddently she has a plan. The next day, the children arrive in class to find Miss Nelson has been replaced by Viola Swamp, the substitute no child ever wants to meet. She's tough, strict, and never puts up with what she considers bad behavior. This hilarious classic follows Miss Swamp as she uses her idea of tough love to control the class, as well as the children's attempts to find Miss Nelson before it's too late for all of them.

This year, the director, Mrs. Armstrong, breaks her leg, and volunteer Grace Bradley finds herself directing the show. The Herdmans show up to audition after they hear that all the kids in the pageant get candy at rehearsal. Grace is forced to cast the Herdmans in leading roles. Chaos ensues, and the resolution that follows makes for one of the most hilarious and touching experiences you'll ever have in the theatre. The pageant that should be doomed to failure becomes a rich and human spirit and the ability in times of crisis to become bigger and better than we think we are.

Based on the classic Grimm Brothers fairy tale, this hilarious musical spoof takes place long ago in the mountains of Central Mexico. The Duke of Valeciana lives in his palace high on the hill overlooking Guanajuato, a city whose mines produce most of the world's silver. Snow White, his young daughter, is the happiest child in the world. One day the Duke brings home a beautiful but vain bride who carries with her an enchanted mirror. The years pass and Snow White grows up to be a beautiful young girl. Her stepmother, the Duchess, who has been asking the same question every day since she arrived in Guanajuato, asks again, "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who in the land is the fairest of all?" When the mirror tells the Duchess the truth, she becomes obsessed with getting rid of her stepdaughter. Snow White must flee the city for the high mountains, where she befriends seven amigos who work the mines. They take her in and try to protect her, and the rest is a story that can only come to life onstage at The Magik Theatre.

There are always two sides to a story, and though all of us think that we know the story of the three little pigs, think again! In this stage adaptation of the popular book, a local news reporter is on the hunt for the real scoop about the "big bad wolf" and his supposed nemeses, the three little pigs. The reporter is determined to set the record straight about why the wolf visited the three little pigs in the first place - to borrow a cup of sugar to make a cake for his grandmother's birthday, of course! While we may believe that the wolf huffed and puffed to blow the pigs' houses down, the reporter uncovers that he simply had a bad cold and a powerful sneeze! Audience members will be called upon to act as the story's detectives, and will even help choose the story's ending. Children and adults will enjoy this fairy tale with a twist, and will learn a valuable lesson about learning both sides to a story. 
If a big, hungry moose comes to visit, you might give him a muffin to make him feel at home. If you give him a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it. When he's eaten all your muffins, he'll want to go to the store to get some more muffin mix. In this hilarious sequel to The Magik Theatre's 2009 runaway hit
