Alice in Wonderland
October 25–December 17, 2010
In Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll blends fantasy, curiosity and wonder in the most enchanting way to create the adventure of a lifetime for his young heroine, Alice. As the story begins, the brave little wonder-seeker slips away from her boring older sister to follow a curious White Rabbit into a rabbit hole—but it is more than just a rabbit hole; it is gateway to a strange and wonderful upside-down world filled with topsy-turvy characters.

The Jungle Book
February 7–March 18, 2011
Raised in the wilds of the jungle by Baloo the bear, Bagheera the panther, Kaa the rock-python and Raksha the mother wolf, Mowgli the man-cub knows little of the outside world of men, but that is of small concern to him in Rudyard Kipling’s classic story. If it were up to him, he would never give the man-pack a second thought. Baloo knows that one day Mowgli must return to his own people, and so the old bear makes it his business to prepare him, teaching the boy lessons of respect, obedience, fairness and temperance—all tenets of the Jungle Law.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf
March 28–May 13, 2011
There are important lessons to be learned from Aesop’s fables, but few morals are more clear than the lesson taught in The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Tending his flock of sheep one hot summer day, a bored and reckless shepherd boy thought to create some fun by sounding the wolf alarm and shouting, “Wolf! Wolf!” Just as he had hoped, all the farmers from the nearby farms ran to help him protect his sheep. But when they found the alarm was false, they went away— very angry. The boy repeated his little trick again and again, and each time fewer farmers answered the call. Then one day a wolf really did come to visit. The boy cried out, “Wolf! Wolf!” But no one came. That is when the shepherd boy finally learned his lesson: no one believes a liar, even when he tells the truth.
