CHILDREN'S SERIES
With this series, The Center for the Performing Arts' goal is to present families the opportunity to attend low-cost, educational, kid-friendly Saturday matinees.
A delightful musical play that provides an excellent vehicle to mark our global past as we continue our new journey into the 21st Century, "Are We There Yet Mr. Columbus?" was originally written in celebration of the 500th anniversary of the voyage that forever changed the course of western civilization.
Performed by the Pushcart Players, "Are We There Yet Mr. Columbus?" is a story without end - a story of curiosity and investigation, imagination and vision, exploration and legacy. Most of all, it is a colorful tale of compelling events guaranteed to tickle and intrigue young viewers from Kindergarten to 8th grade.

"Coyote’s Dance" envelops the culture and story of Coyote, whose exploits are recounted among many of the North American Indian nations. Audiences follow Coyote, who is both clown and teacher, on a humorous journey of deceit and adventure.
Performed by the Treehouse Shakers, "Coyote’s Dance" is performed in native-influenced costumes, headdresses and a lively mixture of movement-styles from various Indian nations. The dance-play expresses the remarkable vitality of the cultures to which these stories belong. "Coyote’s Dance is excellent for all ages."

Marlo Thomas conceived a children's book that, instead of telling boys and girls who they should be, would open them to the possibilities of who they could be. She gathered many of her supremely talented friends from various worlds of the arts and the remarkable result is highly regarded as a modern classic of children's literature.
Performed by The Center's annual Young Performers Festival, life-enhancing themes are imaginatively blended with music and humor to expand children's personal horizons - enabling them to invent their own futures without limitation, while dispelling some old constraints and worn-out conventions in the process. Parents, teachers and other grown-up friends will delight in sharing this extraordinary and memorable experience with the children in their lives.
