Join the Rudes for A Very Special Plantagenet Christmas – hosted by that premier dysfunctional family of the 12th century. Henry II of England has reprieved his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine from prison to join their scheming sons to decide who will succeed him. Joining them is Phillip II, the young King of France, to discuss whether his sister will marry one of the sons or remain Henry’s mistress. Alliances shift, betrayals abound, and no one leaves unscathed in this wickedly funny and fiercely intelligent battle for love, power, and the English crown.

Tickets: $24 General Admission, $22 Seniors/Military, $12 Student/Youth. Buy tickets here.

There are a lot of different creatures in the rainforest… but will any of them be able to help?

The show is recommended for those in elementary and middle school, but children of all ages are welcome! All children who come out to auditions are guaranteed a role. Auditions will be held in the NASA GSFC Building 3 Auditorium on Wednesday, June 24th at 6:00pm.
