What does it feel like to be hated just for being alive? Set in 1924, a small Vermont town is faced with a new force in town. Two girls, one African American and the other Jewish, are among those who are no longer welcome by some of the townspeople.

On Mainstage in March:

March 6 - April 5, 2009
Based on the novel by Michael Ende
Adapted by David S. Craig

Note: Most appreciated by adults, teens and children ages six and up.

Imagination drives this story of Bastian, a young boy who steals the book The Neverending Story from a curmudgeonly store owner and becomes drawn into the book and the dying land of Fantastica. Once there, Bastian finds himself on a quest to save Fantastica and ultimately himself. Walking the fine line between reality and imagination, The Neverending Story is one that is unforgettable as well.
