Showcase Performance, Hubbard Hall Mainstage: Friday, July 17 at 6:30pm

In this two-week daily summer theater program with Sylvia Bloom, kids ages five to seven years are introduced to the skills and magic of the theater. Through theater games, music, and art we form an ensemble cast experience in which everyone has a creative voice.  Every child has magical worlds within them--what will they create today?

Raccoon's Last Race is based on the story by Joseph and James Bruchac. Trickster Raccoon learns the old lesson "pride goeth before a fall" with entertaining adventures along the way. Look out for the Big Rock, Raccoon! And don't tease the other animals in the forest!
