The first show of the KNOLOGY Discovery Series at RiverCenter
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie & Other Story Books
Friday, October 8 @ 7 PM
RiverCenter for the Performing Arts in Bill Heard Theatre.
Eight delightful stories come to life. Performed by a multi-racial cast, the stories represent various issues, themes and ideas relevant to a broad and diverse audience of children. Books featured in the show include:
-
“Amazing Grace” follows young Grace as she attempts to break stereotypes in an effort to play the title character in her school’s production of Peter Pan.
- “Borreguita and the Coyote” is the classic Mexican tale of a little lamb, or borreguita, who uses her wits to escape a hungry coyote.
- In “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” a boy shares his snack with a hungry, demanding mouse, and learns a hilarious lesson about cause-and-effect.
- In “Imogene’s Antlers,” young Imogene is delighted to wake up with “cool” antlers, but soon discovers that her parents and school principals do not share her enthusiasm.
- “Martha Speaks” is the adventurous tale of a family dog who literally becomes outspoken after dining on alphabet soup.
- Based on a Nigerian tall tale, “Master Man” concerns a man whose muscles are as big as his ego.
- “Math Curse” playfully addresses the phobia some kids have when tackling seemingly difficult math problems.
- “Owen” just can’t bear to part with his beloved blanket, Fuzzy – a problem, since he is about to start kindergarten. Owen’s mom provides a clever solution.
