Located within viewing distance of Disneyland, we are introduced to five teenagers. They are homeless, and they, along with their families, stay in the rundown El Dorado motel. Somebody's Children introduces us to five students who are part of a subculture that isn't shown or explored in the media in any depth. We share a time in the lives of these individuals as they tell us their stories. These paint a picture of their lives and the cruel realities in which they struggle to survive—all the while doing so in the shadow of The Happiest Place on Earth. Yet, through it all, this group of friends takes the time to share their dreams with us, reminding us that hope can exist in even the harshest conditions.

Leo and Lucille Frank are a newlywed Jewish couple struggling to make a life in the old red hills of Georgia. When Leo is accused of an unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice and devotion. Riveting and gloriously hopeful, Parade reminds us that to love, we must truly see one another.

4 AM: Meet an early-morning jogger, a radio DJ whose show may have an audience of none, a modern Romeo and Juliet, the author of a most unusual letter, and many other teen characters as they search for connection in the magic hour.

The Magic Hour: The DJ of the internet's loneliest radio show gets an unexpected "like," a serial letter writer gathers the courage to actually send one, best friends confront the reality of growing apart, and a modern-day Romeo and Juliet discover balcony scenes are harder than they look.

“It all began with that first Star in Bethlehem almost two thousand years ago – the Star that brought us to the Manger to kneel at the feet of Christ.” - Langston Hughes. 
This is the Christmas story told in a truly unique way.  The tale of the Nativity is presented through the African American lens through dialogue, narrative, pantomime, gospel song, folk spirituals, traditional African dance, and storytelling. This award-winning production serves to remind us that faith can persist even at the most trying of times and the audacity of hope can manifest in the most miraculous of ways..like the arrival of a child.
