The Frog Prince teaches children about keeping promises, The Three Billy Goats Gruff cleverly outsmart the troll, and The Three Little Pigs demonstrate the value of hard work. Recommended for grades Pre-K – 2.

An evening of sanctified humor will have you rolling in the aisles when the acknowledged King of Gospel Comedy hits the stage. This son of a Baptist preacher “pokes gentle fun at church folk without ever going over the fine line that separates hilarity from irreverence” (gospelflava.com). Opening for Broderick Rice is our own from Maryland, Nikkie Johnson, a comic mom of four who sees life a little differently than most. Crazy, nutty, and original, Nikkie Johnson will show you the funny side of parenting, working, and simply getting through the day.

Tickets: $25/person, $20/seniors, students & groups of 15 or more.
