An ancient feud divides the Montagues and Capulets—until Romeo and Juliet meet and fall irrevocably in love. Their secret marriage defies generations of bloodshed, but in a world poisoned by hatred, even the most transcendent love cannot escape fate. From the euphoric heights of a moonlit balcony to the stifling darkness of a tomb, Shakespeare’s most iconic tragedy races toward its devastating conclusion. This is a story that challenges whether love can ever truly conquer hate. Age 12+

When a mysterious spell transforms her entire family into animals, Princess Sheila’s game is thrown for a major loop. Now, with her frog prince pal and her newly furry (and feathery!) family by her side, she’ll navigate enchanted forests, decode riddles with rhythm, and use every bit of her street smarts to break the curse. With even more music, mega laughs, and a petting zoo full of characters, this sequel proves that the real magic isn’t in a wand—it’s in believing in yourself and putting family first. Fun for all ages!

Kids can get a front row seat for the fun with on-stage carpet seating
and everyone can meet the cast after the performance for autographs and pictures.

Wildlands Conservancy’s Stream Team Volunteers – 2026!
Dates: Fridays, May 29 – Sept. 25, 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM at various locations – check out our website for more information.

If you’re ready to go with the flow, join us as we maintain vegetative areas along streams (riparian buffers) and help ensure the survival of young, native trees in the forest buffer. These vital areas improve water quality in local communities, reduce erosion and flooding concerns, and provide habitat for wildlife.

Repairing vegetative streamside areas, also called riparian buffers, is a science-based method to:
• Improving water quality by reducing pollutants entering waterways through runoff, providing clean drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people in local communities.
• Restoring habitat for fish and native birds by planting native vegetation that provides sustenance and cools the water temperature.
• Reducing flooding downstream.
Stream Team is an act of environmental stewardship, which is our guiding principle to protecting and restoring our critical waterways that are the lifeblood of the Lehigh Valley and Lehigh River.

Stream Team is a great volunteer opportunity for individuals, college students, and community groups. Volunteers are encouraged to register for multiple dates and locations at: https://www.wildlandspa.org/streamteam/.

In the nineteenth century, American artists sought to capture the unique character of the North American landscape, from iconic landmarks to intimate countryside views. Drawing from the Allentown Art Museum’s permanent collection, this exhibition explores mountains, waterfalls, pastures, and wilderness scenes while also examining how these idealized landscapes can obscure ecological damage and colonial violence.
