Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
Whatever you do, don’t let the Pigeon star in his own musical production! With a script by Mo Willems, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! is even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party! It’s not easy being the Pigeon – you never get to do ANYTHING! But when the Bus Driver has a crisis that threatens to make her passengers (gasp!) late, maybe that wily bird CAN do something.
Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling, Caldecott Honor award-winning “Pigeon” picture books. Written by Mo Willems and Mr. Warburton, lyrics by Mo Willems and music by Deborah Wicks La Puma (Elephant & Piggie’s We Are in a Play!).

The Light in the Piazza
Winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, The Light in the Piazza will sweep you off your feet as it transports you to the summer of 1953 in sun-drenched Florence. Margaret Johnson, an elegant and strong-willed Southern woman, has taken her daughter Clara on a vacation to Italy. A fateful gust of wind blows Clara’s hat right into the hands of a young Italian gentleman, and it’s amore at first sight. But Clara isn’t quite what she appears, and soon they must all confront a secret that’s been kept in the shadows for far too long. With soaring operatic melodies, The Light in the Piazza is a story about mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and the deeply intertwined emotions of love and loss.
Book by Craig Lucas, music and lyrics by Adam Guettel.
Sponsored by Aegon Transamerica Foundation.
