Based on the 1968 film of the same name, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang tells the story of an eccentric inventor named Caractacus Potts who, with the help of his children Jeremy and Jemima, sets about restoring an old race car from a scrap heap. Soon, they discover the car has magical properties including the ability to float and take flight. However, trouble occurs when the evil Baron Bomburst desires the magic car for himself. Along with the delectable Truly Scrumptious, Caractacus and the children head to Vulgaria to rescue Grandpa Potts (who has been kidnapped by the bumbling duo, Boris and Goran) and rid the kingdom of its tyrannical, child-hating rulers. With a fantastical flying car, a heartwarming love story, and whole bunch of teamwork, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a fun-filled musical for all the family.

PUMP UP THE VOLUME runs Aug. 5-7

PUMP UP THE VOLUME
Presented by Encore Theatre Company as part of the 2011 Festival of New Musicals
Aug. 5-7
Dayton

Talk Hard. Steal the air. When Mark Hunter, a high school student in a sleepy suburb of Phoenix starts an FM pirate radio station that broadcasts from his bedroom transmitter in the basement of his parent’s house, he has no idea what he has set into motion. Mark is a loner, an outsider, whose only outlet for his teenage angst and aggression is this unauthorized radio station turning this sleepy town on its ear. Based on the 1990 film of the same name, Jordan Mann, Jeff Thompson and Jeremy Desmon have transformed this story of rebellion and finding your voice into a driving new rock musical. ETC will present this show in development at The Loft theatre.
