Opera-Go-Round: Little Red Riding Hood
Wednesday, February 10 at 9:30am or 11am
(Rec. Grades K-6)
Tri-Cities Opera returns to
the LPCA with their arts outreach program Opera-Go-Round. The classic
children’s story is brought to life in the very charming and humorous one-act
opera. Little Red and Grandma outsmart the wolf with their quick wit and
cunning. Children are playfully reminded of some important lessons: always do
your homework, never overeat, always keep your promises, and never ride with a
stranger. 45- 50 minutes. Study materials provided. www.tricitiesopera.com
Pendragon Theatre: The Complete Works of William
Shakespeare (abridged)
Monday, February 22 at 10am
(Rec. 7th to 12th Grade)
The complete works of William Shakespeare, which
total 37 plays (17 comedies, 10 histories, and 10 tragedies), are performed by
Pendragon Theatre in only 90 minutes. The trio of actors warms up with a
rollicking send-up of ROMEO AND JULIET, and then breeze through all 17 comedies
at once in order to have more time lampooning the tragedies and historical
plays. Witness OTHELLO turned into a rap, TITUS ANDRONICUS as a cooking show, a
sock puppet version of HAMLET, and much more. Why? Because life is short and
the complete works of William Shakespeare are long. www.pendragontheatre.org
