Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Presented by Community Educational Entertainment, Inc.

Two Shows: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 10:00am and 12:00 Noon
Tickets: $9.50 per person for groups of 15 or more, $14 for  individuals

Study guide available (online)

Alexander is having a bad day. A terrible day. A terrible, horrible day. To be quite honest, it’s a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But everybody has bad days, sometimes. In this delightful adaptation of her popular children’s book, Judith Viorst sets Alexander’s rather trying life to music and brings to the stage one of America’s feistiest characters. Not only does Alexander wake up with gum in his hair and drops his sweater in the sink while the water’s running, but he gets squished in the middle of the backseat in the carpool, and his teacher doesn’t like his drawing of an invisible castle. The catastrophes continue at lunchtime, when he discovers that his mother did not pack dessert in his lunch, and his best friend Paul decides he’s not his best friend anymore. If that’s not bad enough, at the dentist, Alexander’s siblings don’t have any cavities, but Alexander does. Then, at the shoe store, only boring white sneakers are available in Alexander’s size, not the cool colorful ones that he really wants! Just when it can’t get any worse, there are lima beans for supper and kissing on TV. Yuck!

It is enough to make anyone want to move to Australia. Alexander’s struggles with life’s daily dramas will not only entertain, but educate young audiences as they identify with Alexander and the obstacles he encounters, encouraging them to share their feelings and to realize that every now and then, bad days come. In the words of Alexander’s mother, “Some days are like that.” Even in Australia.

$9.50 per person for groups of 15 or more, $14 for individuals

Darwin is a truly unique and innovative theater experience where electro luminescent crayon-like creatures light up the stage with a heart-rending tale of a dinosaur discovering the true meaning of love. To tell the story, creators Corbin Popp and Ian Carney have developed an array of creatures and characters, using flexible electro luminescent wire, that are manipulated by their hands and bodies in a black out setting. The story begins with Professor Henslow, a famous scientist who has magic powers. We find him in his workshop, putting his latest creation Darwin together piece by piece. With a wave of Henslow's wand, Darwin is brought to Life, Darwin is much more than a pet - he is a dinosaur, a wild and primitive creature. In the end when the red dinosaur threatens Professor Henslow's life, Darvin comes to the rescue and when given a choice between his life or Henslow's, Darwin chooses to give up his new heart to save his master. Through this act of compassion, Darwin receives a miraculous gift - the evolution of his own heart.
