A nearby "dinner theatre" performs plays based on children's literature. We've been attending these school field trips for several years now. Since we aren't allowed to take pictures during the performances, I don't think I've ever posted much about them. We try to attend at least two every school year and sometimes more. The kids love to see how a book can come to life on stage. The plays also incorporate a lot of songs and dance numbers. This has been a great way to include the performing arts into our curriculum and have fun, too. The most recent performance was base on the book, Alexander Who is Not (I Mean It, Do You Hear Me?) Going to Move. The play was entitled "Alexander Who is Not, Not, Not, Not, Not, Not, going to Move".
Some of the other books we've seen brought to life include Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, Winnie the Pooh ,and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
The kids did very well this time waiting patiently with some of their friends. These pictures were taken before the show started. You can see the theatre in the round behind M.
