Starts: 11/23/25 at 5:00 pm
Join us for the premier of a new musical, featuring the children of St. James's. This hilarious, pun-laden quest begins in the ant colony governed by the Consonants, who enforce the proper rules for music-making until two hopeful recruits shake up the tonal foundation and learn that there's much more to music than what meets the antennae. Inspired by Sesame Street, Schoolhouse Rock and Gradus Ad Parnassum (an 18th century treatise on counterpoint), come see this hysterical, educational spectacle. Free admission.
