Young Samuel Clemens leaves home in Hannibal to be a cub pilot on a Mississippi steamboat in 1858 and unexpectedly finds himself learning about life…and death…and love…and writing! All while navigating his way from boy to man and
from Samuel Clemens to Mark Twain.
“When I find a well-drawn character in fiction or biography, I generally take a warm personal interest in him, for the reason that I have known him before—met him on the river.” — Mark Twain in his memoir, Life on the Mississippi
2010 marks the 175th anniversary of Twain's birth and the 100th anniversary of his death.

A modern day dairy-tale with a lotto heart! The most magical thing about the lottery is pondering what you'd do if you won...At Schnaybel's Famous Cheese, the lotto is just the ticket to help the workers take their minds off how things are in Sheboygan. Their beloved founder has passed away and there are rumors the factory may shut down. With typical Wisconsin good humor, the workers carry on while keeping their fingers crossed that something better will come their way...A touching and joyful Wisconsin musical gouda luck fable!

A funny and frightening musical carnival of mystical ghost stories, gathered from campfires around the world. A magical brew of music, special visual effects, human sound effects, fantastical masks that bring sixteen ghostly and ghoulish tales (back!) to life. Scary, macabre, funny and even touching - sometimes all at once! Directed by Jeffrey Herbst. Ralph Lee, nationally renown puppeteer and mask-maker extraordinaire has also created several astonishing pieces for the production - hand and stick puppets that vary in size, from the small to the gigantic.
