2009-2010 School Matinee Series

HENRY AND MUDGE PK – 3 • Monday, October 5, 2009 Moving from the city to a new home in the country can be tough. Just ask Henry, who can’t find a playmate in his new neighborhood! Luckily, he’s got Mudge, a great big, 182-pound, canine buddy, with whom he can share all kinds of adventures! Follow the exploits of Henry and Mudge in this musical based on Cynthia Rylant’s best-selling books.
IF YOU GIVE A PIG A PANCAKE AND OTHER STORY BOOKS K – 4 • Monday, November 2, 2009 This is a bright and bouncy musical revue based on your students’ favorite books. If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Numeroff is about a bossy pig’s demands which frazzle a little girl in this hilarious lesson about cause-and-effect. Even little creatures are important and can make big contributions is the lesson learned from Diary of a Worm by Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss. Fluffy’s Silly Summer by Kate McMullan shows that everyone has hidden talents and can achieve greatness. We learn that boys and girls can be friends together from the book Horace & Morris But Mostly Dolores by James Howe. In How I Became a Pirate by Melinda Long we learn that adventure is fun but home is really best. Lilly’s Big Day by Kevin Henkes shows that you can make an important contribution even if you are not the center of attention. From The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch we learn that you don’t have to wait for Prince Charming to save the day; you can do anything if you believe in yourself.
ARE YOU MY MOTHER? PK – 2 • Wednesday, February 3, 2010 At long last, Baby Bird emerges from her shell and expects to be greeted by her mother’s song. But her mother is not there. Where is she? Why isn’t she home? With the help of Dog, Cat, and Hen, Baby Bird sets out in search of Mother Bird in this colorful musical adventure based on P.D. Eastman’s whimsical and well-loved picture book.
CLICK, CLACK, MOO PK – 4 • Thursday, April 15, 2010 Cows that type? Hens on Strike! Whoever heard of such a thing! All day long Farmer Brown hears “click clack moo, clickety clackety moo…” The cows are typing and are protesting their working conditions! A hilariously “moo-ving” new musical about negotiation and compromise is based on the award-winning book by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin.
