Aunt Mae Comes to Town

Aunt Mae is coming for a visit and her grandniece, Martha cannot wait! Aunt Mae always brings her super-stuffed photo album and every picture has a story to go with it. The most wonderful thing is that when Aunt Mae starts the story, they come to life! Talking horse, pushcarts, hikes in the woods, growing up on the lower east side of Manhattan are stories that Martha loves and the characters that inhabit them. Song-filled and audience participation have made this a favorite show.

Emmett & Ella: A Doggone Mystery

Emmett and Ella, two charming and fun-loving canines were adopted by their human, Louella, nine years ago. Louella wants to surprise them with something special to celebrate their Adoption Day Anniversary and Emmett and Ella want to surprise Louella. What to do? What will make this a truly special day? Louella reads that a new French pastry chef, Bernot La Boulanger, has moved to town and decides to see if he can make something very special for her and the dogs. Coincidently, Rags, Emmett and Ella’s canine friend has been taken in by Bernot and tells Emmett and Ella that he is learning French and also how to bake. Rags offers to make a special cake for the special day. And just a few minutes later Louella and Bernot complete the plan for a special cake for the special day. When Bernot’s cake is delivered, Louella hides it from the dogs, but when she checks on it the next morning, it is gone! What happened to it? Emmett and Ella are determined to figure it out. And, what they find is “a doggone mystery!”
