"Storybook Alive" performed by Wendy Bennett

Captain Hook, Fairy Godmother, Princess Winnifred and Peter Pan have all made their way from the pages of children’s literature to the Broadway stage. This program is about character, one of the key elements of any story, whether read in a book or seen in a movie or play. Wendy uses her theatrical skills to show how actors and writers create a character’s personality using voice, physical movements and facial expressions. Budding actors from the audience will crow, chant, mime and act out the part of the protagonist and antagonist, the mice and even the pumpkin!

"Acting Out" performed by Laughing Matters

Laughing Matters’ improvisation masters use age-appropriate games, skits, and songs to tickle the funny bone, sharpen the mind and stimulate the imagination. Audiences love to share their ideas and take part in the unscripted, unexpected and hilarious results!
