of her newfound friend, Wilbur the pig, in E.B. White’s

How I Became a Pirate
A musical by Alyn Cardarelli and Steve Goers
Have you ever thought of becoming a pirate? Jeremy Jacobs
has and he gets that chance when he is recruited by Captain
Braid Beard for his exceptional digging skills, necessary
for proper treasure-burying, of course! Jeremy thinks the
pirate life is great, until he thinks of home and realizes
that pirates do not get tucked in at night and do not play a
good game of soccer. This musical adventure will send you
home laughing and growling "Arrrrrr, Matey!"

Dear Santa
By Norm Foster
It is the time of year to peek into the magical and timeless
world of the North Pole, bustling workshops, cheerful elves
and the jolly old leader himself, Santa Claus. Santa's
efficient, yet frenzied Chief of Staff, the ditzy
housekeeper with a secret crush, the high-pressure sleigh
salesman and the workshop foreman who does not quite command
the English language all combine to keep the place running
like clock work, with he exception of a few mishaps. Soon, a
request from one child's letter throws everything off course
and the answer lies in rediscovering the Christmas spirit.

The Giver
Book by Lois Lowry, Adapted by Eric Cole
Imagine a perfect world with no poverty, no crime, no
sickness, no unemployment and no happiness. What would you
trade to live in that idyllic society? Lois Lowry's Newbery
Medal-winning book, The Giver, examines the idea that people
might freely choose to give up their humanity in order to
create a more stable civilization. In this compelling drama,
12-year-old Jonas learns just how costly this ordered and
pain-free society can be and boldly decides he cannot pay
the price. What's the Sideways Series? The Sideways Series
showcases plays with new or lesser known titles that
encourage dialogue between young people and adults. The REP
works in collaboration with UCF Theatre for Young Audiences
graduate program on this series. This production is
