Braidie wonders if the teen accused of a shocking act of violence is so very different from her and her friends. This "monster in the shape of a girl" propels Braidie to examine her own past and confront the truth of her often-terrifying teenage world.

Stuffed animals spring to life in this uproarious version of Shakespeare's As You Like It. When a bear named Rosalind is banished by her evil uncle, she and her best plush kitten friend Celia run away to the forest of Arden. There, they meet a wrestling orang-utan, a haughty hippo, a braggin bunny and the hearsick teddy bear, Orlando, who has fallen head-over-paws for Rosalind. This 2009 Fringe Festival hit is a wonderful way to introduce young people to Shakespeare.
