    150 years after Lewis Carroll wrote his stories about Wonderland, a young woman named Lacie loses her sister through the looking glass and discovers that the stories are real and that, even curiouser, she may be Alice herself. She travels to Wonderland, books in tow as her guide, in search of her sister. There, she meets up with the White Rabbit, the March Hare, the Mad Hatter and, even more curiouser, a teenage boy from 19th century Daresbury named Charlie who's been imprisoned by the Queen of Hearts. Alice's adventures are his future and Lacie's past, or maybe they're now. Time has been banished, Wonderland is at war, and now Lacie must rescue her sister and Charlie, and find a way for all of them to escape back through the looking glass to where and when they belong --- but if they're too late, they may get trapped in Wonderland forever.

    Ichabod Crane's disappearance was only the beginning. Sleepy Hollow: The Lost Chapter picks up in the final pages of Washington Irving's classic tale of Sleepy Hollow, revealing a previously untold piece of the legend in this full-length stage play.

Now, Abigail and her students must hurry to retrace Ichabod's final days in Sleepy Hollow and find a way to stop the Horseman once and for all. Along the way, they cross paths with Katrina Van Tassel, Brom Bones, and all of Irving's original characters, uncovering secrets and revelations about that fateful night in Sleepy Hollow.

    When a new infectious pathogen is discovered in a remote village in Belgium---a supervirus that means nothing less than the beginning of the end---one of the world’s leading scientific minds figures out a way to stop the outbreak; but his theory is untested, unthinkable, and while it could save most of the planet, it would cost millions of lives. Regardless of the risk, he’s convinced it’s the only way to save us all. What’s more frightening is, he might be right.
