Backstage Tours
Give your students the opportunity to see what happens “behind the curtain.” Tours of QCT, located within the Oakley-Lindsay Center in downtown Quincy, are available for school, community or private groups. In the tour, students will learn that more is needed to put on a show than just the actors; theatre is a collaborative art form!

Judy Moody and Stink: The Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Treasure Hunt
The Judy Moody books come to life in this zany and joke-filled pirate treasure hunt for all ages.
Judy Moody is in a mood. She never gets to go on exciting vacations. But when her family drags her (and her kid brother Stink) to “Artichoke” Island, Judy ends up on a rip-roaring pirate adventure! Help Judy and Stink solve the puzzles, crack the codes, and find the treasure before time runs out—or worse, before their rivals Tall Boy and Smart Girl get there first!
Adapted for the stage by Allison Gregory. Produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc. (www.playscripts.com)
