TYKEs' 2021–22 Season
Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical!
November 6–14, 2021
Whatever you do, don’t let the Pigeon star in his own musical production! With a script written by Mo Willems, the author/illustrator of the #1 New York Times bestselling, Caldecott Honor award-winning Pigeon picture books, TYKEs’ Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! is even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party!

Last Stop on Market Street
April 2–10, 2022
Young CJ is reluctantly visiting his force-of-nature Nana in a world considerably different from the one he’s used to. After an eye-opening bus ride, CJ travels a little closer to his roots and learns that things are not always what they seem. A hip-hoppin’, heart-thumpin’, toe-tappin’ musical joy ride about building community and finding beauty in everyday city life.

Crafted from the actual testimonies of Rochester-based Holocaust Survivors, CenterStage Theatre and the Louis S. Wolk Jewish Community Center of Greater Rochester commissioned this new play to put a human face on this important time in history. A cautionary tale on the risks of normalized hate, this inspirational and uplifting play ensures that the voices of our Survivors will never be silenced.
