Get in, loser—we’re going to the theater!

Pop Tart is stirring the chocolate, Stretch is headed for the Taffy Room, Cookie the Clown is preparing to host a tour of young school children, Jan and Dean are experimenting with new flavors of candy, and--most significantly--Graham Cracker is looking for Kandy Kane. As Graham searches for Miss Kane and attempts to propose, Grimsley Krumkake, a dastardly villain posing as a vat inspector, enters with his dopey sidekick, Bink. Thus is set in motion a fiendish plan to take over the world, beginning with the Mega-Bite Candy Company. In the end, true love wins, the villain receives his just desserts, and the world is saved!

JT & FRIENDS – James Taylor Tribute

10/22/26 at 7:30 PM

Stephen Bock -Lead Vocals / Guitar

Born and raised in Los Angeles (the ‘Valley’ to be exact), Stephen Bock has been playing guitar since he was 8 years old. The inspiration for his desire to pick up the instrument: hearing James Taylor’s Fire and Rain. He was so moved and amazed by the incredible sound the acoustic guitar could make, he spent the next several years sitting in solitary confinement in his bedroom with a guitar on his lap and a record player (remember those?) on his shelf, learning the playing style of James Taylor. Through the years he has performed in many of LA’s premiere clubs and has fronted several bands, both cover and original. He was honored with two original composition awards in the 2004 USA Songwriting competition. He is thrilled to have found other incredible musicians who share his love of JT’s music and passion for playing it.

Tickets are $48 for Adults, $40 for Seniors 60 & Above and Students and $38 for Children 12 & Under. Please note there is a $3 per ticket processing fee for all tickets whether purchased online or in person at the box office.

Kick off your holiday season with a twist on a beloved holiday classic. It’s Christmas Eve 1949 and the live studio audience has arrived for WNBC’s annual Christmas Eve Radio Broadcast of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. When the previously announced star-studded cast is a sudden no show, WNBC General Manager has to scramble to gather a cast of anyone still left in the building – including a priest who hosts a local talk show and the plumber sent to fix some frozen pipes! Hilarity ensues as this ragtag group of radio amateurs battle missing script pages, bad accents, hilariously misplaced sound effects and other outlandish shenanigans in their struggle to make it to the end of the broadcast. But in the end, this merry band of misfits delivers one of the funniest and heartwarming renditions of Dickens’ iconic tale ever to go out over the airwaves. Performed as a “live” radio broadcast complete with live sound effects, holiday music of the era, vintage commercials, and live musical underscoring, A Christmas Carol – On Air is guaranteed to fill the Scroogiest of Humbugs with cheer this holiday season!

Tickets are $37 Adults, $32 Seniors & Students, and $27 for Children. Group rates for 10 or more are available. Please note there is a $3 per ticket processing fee for all tickets whether purchased online or in person at the box office.
