As the northern lights hover in the star-� lled sky above, Almost’s residents � nd themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised and hearts are broken and mended again in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

� e Crucible is Arthur Miller’s gripping, Tony Award-winning drama.

Bugsy Malone is a pint-sized, pin-striped, tuneful tribute to the gangster � lms of the 1920s. Two gangs, comprised completely of children, are involved in a gangster rivalry that would put Al Capone and his boys to shame. Bugsy is unwillingly thrust into the gangster limelight in this tongue-in-cheek musical comedy romp.
