THE ENCHANTED BOOKSHOP
by Todd Wallinger
directed by Janay Hiatt
During the day, A Likely Story may look like any other used bookstore. But at night, it’s a place where magic happens. That’s when the characters inside the books come alive. Six of those characters — Dorothy Gale, Robin Hood, Pollyanna, Sherlock Holmes, Heidi, and Tom Sawyer — long to help Margie, the scatterbrained owner, save her struggling store. But they’re not allowed to leave the building or be seen by human eyes. So when a pair of smugglers comes looking for a stolen necklace hidden inside one of the books, the characters are torn. Should they warn Margie and risk disappearing forever? Or can they find a way to defeat the crooks without being seen? Featuring additional appearances by such beloved literary characters as the Queen of Hearts, Long John Silver, and Doctor Dolittle, this charming comedy celebrates the joy of reading in a fresh, fun-filled way.

SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT
by Craig Sodaro
directed by Danny Oursbourn
This fast-moving comedy centers around poor Sir Gawain, whose courage is questioned by the other knights. Alas! Morgan le Fay, the evil enchantress, desires nothing more than to see Camelot destroyed, and she will not leave unless the kingdom can produce a knight who can pass her tests of bravery, honesty, and loyalty. Sir Gawain, needing to prove his bravery, accepts the challenge. The trial begins with the knight getting to strike the monstrous Green Knight three times… three blows that the Green Knight will return in a year. During the year, Sir Gawain completes the tests of honesty and loyalty in comic style, but the hapless knight still must meet the Green Knight again with hopes of winning the hand of Lady Elaine, saving Camelot, and upholding the reputation of the Knights of the Round Table.
