A Ghost Tale for Mr. Dickens, Jr.
A Ghost Tale for Mr. Dickens JR. finds Jack and Annie in Victorian London where legendary author Charles Dickens is at the height of his popularity as a writer. Despite his success, though, Dickens is so upset by the horrible conditions of the poor in his city that he has chosen to give up writing forever. The siblings disguise themselves as chimney sweeps and manage to make friends with the illustrious novelist. Sharing his compassion and concern for the underprivileged, they magically conjure three ghosts who convince Mr. Dickens that his writing can be a force for change – and inspire him to write one of the greatest holiday stories of all time.
This show is available in a 60 minute version to be performed by youth AND as a TYA version with a
flexible
cast for professional theatres.

Christmas in Camelot
Christmas in Camelot
is a full-length Broadway-style musical based on the first Magic Tree House Merlin Mission. Jack and Annie are thrilled to receive a Royal Invitation to a banquet in Camelot, but once the tree house arrives on the castle grounds they discover that the kingdom has fallen under a dark spell – and lost all its joy. Now it’s up to the young adventurers to journey to the perilous Other World and retrieve a cup of magical water which is the only thing that can save Camelot – and their beloved tree house – from being lost forever!
