• The Rainbow Fish: "An Undersea Musical Adventure" (July 6) — Adapted from the international bestseller and award-winning book “The Rainbow Fish” by Marcus Pfister, the play tells the story of a vain creature who learns that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.

• Awesome Allie: First Kid Astronaut (July 27) — Eight-year-old Allie sets out in her dance-powered spaceship on a journey through the stars, soaring from Earth to Pluto with only a trusty, talking dog named Captain Chaos by her side. Along the way, she’ll meet unlikely challenges and unlikelier friends. Allie’s about to discover that friendship just might be the most important thing in the whole universe—but only the audience can help her figure it out.
• Alexander, Who's Not Not Not Not Going To Move (Aug. 3) — Based on a Judith Viorst book, this musical tells the story of a young boy who learns to understand that home is “where your family is, where you’re with the people who love you best of all.”
