The most wicked woman of all learns her lesson in the classic Grimm Brother’s Fairy Tale “Snow White.” Performed by Old Gem Theater students, this family show promises to entertain as the evil queen, a poison apple, and a beautiful princess teach us the meaning of true love and “happily ever after.”
Peter Pan	Think lovely thoughts and fly away with Peter and Tinkerbell to adventure with the Lost Boys and duels with the evil Captain Hook.

HOUSE OF HORROR
	This guaranteed to thrill and chill spectacular will feature live costumed actors along with the most creepy animated installations ever seen. Witness the “Dance of the Dead”, a spellbinding and spine tingling dance/theater/seance, complete with larger than life unnerving images projected across the Old Gem Stage and performed by living and not so living creatures. Tiptoe through the Gem’s ghoul-filled and almost- filled-in grave site where things are not always what they appear to be, then, inch your way along the excruciating “Tunnel of Terror”, a place where unspeakable acts and images of horror lurk around every corner. Finally, deep in the basement of the Old Gem Theater, there is only one thing that separates you from the outside world. If you are successful you will see your friends and family again. If you fail, you may be trapped in the darkest recesses of the theater with the rest of the less-than-fortunates. Enter, if you dare, “The Dungeon of Doom.” This two-story multi-room collection of fear and nightmare is not your typical Halloween party. “House of Horror,” according to its creators, is meant to be scary........very scary! Small children are absolutely not allowed in the theater during hours of operation and it is strongly advised that people with heart conditions do not attend.
