Monster Cafe
Rated G
Depression, anger, bullying, not fitting in. Adolescents around the world deal with these problems on a daily basis. Monster Café – The Musical helps show teens they can survive the struggles with the love and support of their friends.
Monster Café – The Musical follows relatives of famous monsters including the grandson of Dracula, the grandson of Frankenstein and the grandson of a werewolf. One has no confidence, one is prone to anger and one is sad about not being in a relationship. They team up to open a restaurant but when each of their “inner monsters” comes out, the restaurant suffers. Struggle after struggle, the friendships also suffer until a bullying wizard helps show that support from your friends can heal all wounds.
Monster Café – The Musical is the brainchild of Dr. William Rae, professor emeritus in the School of Education at Texas A&M University. Having always had an interest in musical theater, Dr. Rae took his knowledge of psychology and adolescent issues to develop the lighthearted production. Dr. Rae collaborated with Marjie Rynearson, co-author of the musical and Ed Rynearson who wrote the music and lyrics. The current production honors Marjie Rynearson’s contribution to the Temple Civic Theatre.

Roald Dahl’s Matilda JR the Musical
Rated G
Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the “revolting children” who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.
Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence… and special powers! She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however – the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils’ saving grace!
Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda JR. is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
