We would like to thank everyone for participating in last year’s Think Theater program! We are looking forward to an exciting 2010… Please take a moment to watch our video from last summer:  
SUPERBEN! Appropriate for ages 5-10yrs. (and Parents too!) SuperBen is the adventure of Ben and Leslie, two wildly imaginative best friends, who are given a sudden dose of reality when Ben starts getting bullied at school. The friends must go to superhero lengths to solve their bully problem. Along the way, new doors are opened as they learn to trust themselves and understand the importance of accepting others. This new 30 minute play by Philip Mutz, tackles serious issues and offers real-life solutions. It’s guaranteed to be a blast! The play will be followed by a short workshop in which the actors talk about the themes of the play with fun, age-appropriate activities for the kids.  The Art House
