Don't Tell Me I Can't Fly: Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013 (show begins at 11:45 am)
For families and children age 8 and up
An original play by Y York, commissioned by First Stage
Meet Tonia--an artistic 9 year-old with fantastic
dreams of a giant future. Tonia's mom wants her to be like a doll,
perfectly mannered and always the same size. Tonia's dad wants her to
blend into the crowd in a world where African-Americans who stand tall
are easier to cut down. This regional premiere is an engaging and
humorous look at family life inspired by the life and work of collage
artist Della Wells.
The Wind in the Willows: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 (show begins at 11:45 am)
For families and children age 6 and up
Adapted by Scot Copeland and Paul Carrol Binkley
Based on the book by Kenneth Grahame and the songs of Gilbert and Sullivan
NCT's Copeland and Binkley blended Kenneth
Grahame's plot and poetry with the music and lyrics of Gilbert and
Sullivan, crafting a delightful confection that is absolutely sure to
please. It is spring, and little Mole (Peter Vann) emerges from
hibernation to explore the wonders of peaceful life along the riverbank
with his new friend, Ratty. Peaceful, that is, until the irrepressible
Mr. Toad (Samuel Whited III) develops a most unsavory obsession
with...motorcars. Not even wise Old Badger can prevent Toad's
disastrous dash down the road to ruin, and soon Toad is in jail and Toad
Hall is in the hands of Weasels!
Go, Dog. Go!: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 (show begins at 11:45 am)
For families and children of all ages
Adapted by Allison Gregory and Steven Dietz
Adapted from the book Go, Dog. Go! by P.D. Eastman
The big dog party is back by popular demand in an
all-new production! This innovative adaptation of one of the best-loved
books for early readers bursts to life on NCT's stage in an explosion
of movement, a kaleidoscope of color and a circus-wagon load of
clowning. Join Red Dog, Blue Dog, Yellow Dog and Green Dog as they
bark, scoot, scratch, drive, and howl at the moon. Go, Dog. Go! is an exhilarating celebration of childhood for children of all ages.
