Dallas Children’s Theater’s touring company travels coast to coast performing plays that stir the heart and encourage education. The troupe presents its hilarious musical adaptation of the much-loved children’s book "If You Give A Pig A Party" at the Smith Opera House in Geneva.
Recommended for ages 3-10. This hour-long show is open to all school audiences and the general public.
Celebration reigns supreme in this delightful script of another of Laura Numeroff’s extremely popular books from the #1 New York Times best-selling "If You Give" series. Dallas Children’s Theater has delivered blockbuster productions of "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" and "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" in the past, and now both the Moose and the Mouse return for the fun in this new, original production. Settings leap from the page to the stage and are true to Felicia Bond’s wonderful illustrations.
"If You Give a Pig a Party" is a carnival of music, festivity and friendship. When a young Girl decides to throw a party for the Pig for no special reason, it isn’t long before the raucous entertainment begins. A motley group of friends are invited: Mouse, Moose, Cat, Dog and Snake. Before the party starts these curious and energetic chums soon lead the Girl on a whirlwind of events creating much more work than she originally anticipated. With live musical accompaniment and outrageous physical comedy, audiences are in for a compelling theatrical experience.
Time magazine rated Dallas Children’s Theater one of the top five family theaters in the nation.The touring company began as a local touring group in 1985. In 1996, it expanded and started touring nationally. Today, the organization reaches more than 250,000 young people each year through its touring productions, main stage shows, educational programming, and outreach activities.
This performance is part of The Smith’s 2007/08 "ArtSmart Theatre for Young People Series." Remaining shows in the series include "James and the Giant Peach" (March 12), and "Harry the Dirty Dog"(June 4).
