Dragonfruit Studios of Atlanta presents Spook House Dave!, the sweet and creepy story of an average young boy named Dave who just happens to be living with a not-so-frightening family of monsters. No “real” parents under this haunted castle’s roof: just a vampire, a witch, a werewolf, a mummy, and a monster – all bumbling together to help an 11-year-old make his way in the big scary world. Puppets performed by Atlanta’s own Lucky Yates, Jason von Hinezmeyer, and Scott Warren. More

Dreamchild
Directed by Gavin Millar

Recommended for ages 10+
Set in the 1930’s, the real-life Alice in Wonderland, 80-year-old Alice Hargreaves, makes her first trans-Atlantic voyage to New York to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s birth. As she comes to terms with America’s “Alice mania,” she returns in her thoughts and dreams to her idyllic childhood, in mid-1800’s England. In a wondrous blend of fantasy and reality, she confronts the unsettling memories of her past – and the strangely repressed Reverend Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), whose powerful affection for Alice surfaced in his writing to create one of the world’s most beloved literary classics.
