Nate the Great, the world’s greatest boy detective, awakes, hoping that this day will bring a new case. He gets a call from his good friend Annie alerting him that her new painting of her dog Fang is missing! He rushes over to her house to investigate. For the first time in his career, he is stumped. And worse yet, Mom is all out of pancakes. To solve this case, he is going to need to learn to think in new ways and rely on the help of his friends. Nate the Great is a funny, sweet, rollicking good time that celebrates art, friendship, creative thinking, and of course, pancakes.

Nate the Great Story Walk

During your visit to the theatre, be sure to head down to the rose garden to check out our Nate the Great Story Walk! Our education staff put together this fun, interactive experience that encourages reading while enjoying the outdoors. The rose garden is accessible from a path leading down from the Sutton lobby and main parking lot through the amphitheatre or from the small staff parking lot behind the theatre building (entrance at Pogue & Everett intersection). We hope you enjoy your Story Walk!
