Today is National Go Fishing Day, and we’re celebrating “First Big Fish” style! We loved this story so much that it was featured in three unique shows, and it even introduced a classic Whoopensocker catchphrase: “Thank you, Amy!”

Grab your favorite fishing partner and go catch a big one!

That’s right…your eyes are not deceiving you. We had REAL LIFE BROCCOLI in this story!

On today's National Eat Your Vegetables Day, we would like to highlight one of the most exciting things about adapting stories for the stage: working with props. Whoopensocker performer Caleb thought it would be fun to use real vegetables for this story. And Andy? A total trooper for chowing down four shows’ worth of broccoli.

Be like Andy on this wonderfully important holiday!

On today’s Hug a Lawyer Day (yes - it’s a real holiday!), we would like to highlight this wildly creative adaptation. This story made no mention of the legal process...until our performers transformed it into a riveting courtroom drama. Enjoy “The Snowy Mountain” by Simon from Crestwood!
