Directed by Katherine Hammond

Oh no, Corduroy鈥檚 button has gone missing, and he can鈥檛 go home with kindhearted Lisa without it! Join the beloved teddy bear as he takes a rollicking ride up the escalator and begins a delightfully destructive romp through every section of the department store. Will he find his button at the top of a teetering store display? Will Lisa ever get to bring him home, or will the bumbling security guard catch him first? Where, oh where, is Corduroy鈥檚 BUTTON?

鈥淎n absolute delight. 鈥ou will leave Corduroy on stage with more laughs, broader grins, and a warmer heart than you have had in a very long time.鈥 鈥 Talkin' Broadway

In this enchanting tale, Shakespeare鈥檚 final masterpiece, a wrongfully exiled duke employs magical powers and a handful of playful island spirits to seek vengeance on the evil conspirators who plotted his fall, all of whom have mysteriously found themselves shipwrecked on his enchanted shore. The Bard鈥檚 unrivaled talent for character, romance and comedy shine throughout the play鈥檚 fast-moving action, and its heartfelt wisdom remains with us long afterwards.聽 The duke鈥檚 haunting words, 鈥淲e are the stuff that dreams are made on,鈥 gain prophetic power at the play鈥檚 conclusion, especially as he continues, 鈥渁nd our little lives are rounded by a sleep.鈥澛
