Showing titles in Theater

Was Auntie Maim an axe murderer? Well, you might have thought so! Auntie Mame, on the other hand, can teach you and all of us an important lesson. The little things in life sometimes aren’t so little. Sheldon Beasley, 13, learned that lesson when his attempt to audition for a role in the wildly popular play Auntie Mame went horribly awry. In a letter to the play’s director, Sheldon made several references to "Auntie Maim". Oops. That’s no way to impress the boss, who politely notified Sheldon he would not be invited to tryouts.

The Pepper twins, Esmé and Monty and their uncle Potty have been summoned to the Sea Spray Theatre on the end of Crab Pie Pier. They’re on a mission to keep the old theatre from closing and must perform the show of a lifetime to reel in the crowds. But not everyone wants the theatre to survive, and a certain someone is determined to sabotage the show, whatever the cost.... Add a strange island hideaway full of zany inventions (including the Great Crab Pie Flytrap and the Banana-Powered Test Your Strength machine), a hair-raising helicopter rescue-mission, and some dodgy fortune-telling, and the Peppers are in for an unforgettable summer.

Es ist nicht immer leicht, ein Kind zu sein. Das weiß niemand besser als Nils Holgersson. Die Eltern sind unzufrieden, dauernd gibt es Streit, und wohin man mit der eigenen schlechten Laune soll, weiß man auch nicht so recht. Richtig ärgerlich wird es aber erst, als Nils seine Wut an einem Wichtel auslässt. Der zaubert den frechen Jungen zur Strafe auf Däumling-Größe klein. Als dann auch noch Hausgans Marten vom Hof der Holgerssons abhauen will, schmeißt sich der jetzt sehr kleine Nils Marten an den Hals – und findet sich plötzlich mitten im Abenteuer und in einer Schar von Wildgänsen wieder!

Gus doesn't want to make friends. She also doesn't want to be intrigued by the cat-lady teacher at her new school, or the Riley's Comet project that she and her seaweed-eating science partner are working on together. And she definitely doesn't want to fall in love with her job as the projectionist at the Starlight, a drive-in movie theatre that her family is reviving.

Son las vacaciones de primavera y Webster, el amigo de Stink, no está. ¿Ser o no ser un duendecillo de pantalones abombados y recitar poesía en el campamento de Shakespeare, con su amiga Sophie? ¡No tentéis a un hombre desesperado!

The schools of Philadelphia were filling up with broken violins, drums, pianos, and more, making it difficult for students to learn to play. This sparked an idea for a symphony, played entirely with the broken instruments, that would raise funds to repair the instruments themselves. Musicians young and old volunteered, and their performance showed that even something broken can sing—and that great music is always possible with a bit of inventiveness and improvisation. Based on real events, this inspiring story celebrates a community coming together to make joyful, meaningful noise.

Se a scuola sei così sfigato che non ti nota nessuno, diventi praticamente invisibile. Ma per gli aspiranti investigatori Edoardo, Matteo, Lucia e Matilde non c'è un'arma migliore dell'invisibilità - e delle loro nerdissime capacità! - per indagare sull'omicidio della signorina Lolli: la prof di teatro che per la recita scolastica aveva riesumato un vecchio testo andato in scena una sola volta, sessant'anni prima, e da allora considerato maledetto...
