What happens when a curious kid challenges the power of words? When Nicholas Allen learns how words are created, he decides to shake things up by calling his pen a “frindle.” What starts as a simple experiment turns into a movement, disrupting his classroom, his school, and even making headlines. But in the battle between a stubborn student and an even more stubborn teacher, who really gets to decide what words mean? Based on the beloved novel by Andrew Clements, Frindle is a funny, thought-provoking adventure that celebrates imagination, learning, and the power of language. A perfect introduction to live theatre for young audiences, families, and school groups alike.  “FRINDLE is about discovering the true nature of words, language, thought, community, learning… and about great teaching and great teachers.” – Andrew Clements Adapted from the novel by Andrew Clements

Singer-songwriter, composer, and pianist John Hegner returns to the Opera House stage for a heartfelt evening of music and storytelling in Peace Is Alive. Known for his powerful songwriting, musical sensitivity, and collaborative spirit, Hegner has spent his life weaving melody and meaning together.

Hegner’s music takes flight with lush arrangements backed by an ensemble of accomplished musicians, Gil Cadrecha, Bill Denk, Roger Reupert, Jim Seidel, and Cheryl Wilson, At the core of the evening is John’s mission: to create an intimate rapport with the audience, fostering connection through song and the shared belief that peace is truly alive.
