If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk. When you give him the milk, he'll probably ask you for a straw. When he's finished, he'll ask for a napkin... The energetic mouse is back again in the tale that started it all as he runs his friend, the little boy, ragged with all of his wacky demands.

What happens when you give a demanding moose a muffin? He's going to want some blackberry jam, and then he's going to want… The hilarious sequel to last season's blockbuster tour, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, captivates audiences with more outrageous antics of the little boy and his newest unexpected guest, a hungry moose.
The Merchant of Venice
By William Shakespeare - January 14 – April 11, 2008
Main Street Theater brings one of Shakespeare's masterpieces to life in this compelling, contemporary version of The Merchant of Venice. Locked away within a chest is Portia's picture - and the suitor who can choose the right chest gains Portia as his bride. To finance his wooing of Portia, Bassanio must borrow money - and when the loan cannot be repaid, Shylock seeks his revenge on those who have scorned him. Part of the National Endowment for the Arts Shakespeare for a New Generation initiative, this touring version of The Merchant of Venice will capture the attention of young adults with the "trial of the century."
