If You Give a Mouse a Cookie-
Presented by Miss Katie's Charm School,

Saturday, October 14, 2006

Who would suspect that a tiny little mouse could wear out an energetic young boy? Well, if you're going to go around giving an exuberantly bossy rodent a cookie, be prepared to do one or two more favors for it before your day is through. He'll certainly need a glass of milk to wash down that cookie, won't he? And you can't expect him to drink the milk without a straw, can you? By the time you are finished granting all of the mouse's very urgent requests - and cleaning up after him - it's no wonder your head is becoming a bit heavy. Laura Numeroff's tale of circular logic is a sure-fire winner in the giggle-generator category. But underneath the folly rest valuable lessons about life.

The Ant and the Grasshopper Presented by The Broward Center for the Performing Arts

Take a trip through the four seasons in this great Aesop's Fable for the very young. A frivolous fiddle playing Grasshopper completely exasperates the hard-working Ant throughout the course of an entire year. A singing Caterpillar, a whacky Squirrel, and a high-strung Bird (puppet) round out the cast of creatures who live their annual life cycles in the colorful little forest clearing on stage. Original music by Artistic Director Ric Averill enhances the company's celebration of the cycle of the seasons. A big, bountiful and beautiful set gradually strips away to become only the Ant's warm underground hole as winter closes in on the frivolous Grasshopper.
