At the same time, The Man In Yellow is searching for the Tuck family secret with a sinister intent. Through her adventure, Winnie must confront and answer a question of significance; “If you could live forever, would you?”

“Tuck Everlasting lives up to the theater program’s reputation” says Graduate Assistant, Benjamin Kennedy, “providing an opportunity for audience members to reflect on their own lives, reminding them what it means to have heartache, to laugh, to cry, and to love. All of us from the Geneva College Theater Program are excited to both share and engage this story with our audiences, as we transport ourselves to new worlds through song and dance. You definitely won’t want to miss this high energy production of Tuck Everlasting”
