Who is the woman in black - the mysterious figure who appears to people in a dreary English village - and what happens to everyone who sees her? Set in a decaying, abandoned theatre where a lawyer has hired an actor to help him retell the story of his encounter, this spine-chilling ghost story will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The Woman in Black was a smash hit in London, New York and Los Angeles, and we're looking forward to seeing you in Irvine this Halloween for a thriller you'll never forget.
Recommended for ages 10 and up

Jojo, a young boy and "thinker of strange and wonderful thinks," brings these classic Seuss stories together in a show that will appeal to all ages, with music that ranges from Latin to pop to swing to gospel to jazz to R & B, and themes that will speak to young and old alike. "If you open your mind, oh, the thinks you will find lining up to get loose! Oh, the thinks you can think when you think about Seuss!"
