In Celebration of Children's Book Week

 

Featured Performers

Page Turner Adventures

In today's first presentation, The Silly Mixed-Up Fairy Tale, the audience must help to break a spell, or Beauty will sleep for 100 years! This interactive production features a wise Fairy Godmother, a talking wolf, Red Riding Hood and a 10 foot TALL giant.

Today's second show, OddBall Vaudevill, is a hilarious tale about an old trunk that belonged to a 1920s Vaudevillian named Baldy the Magnificent. This show is great for any age range, and features juggling, unicycling, magic and more.

Katie Adams' Make Believe Theatre

Cracker Cinderella features puppets crafted like old fashioned dolls, a helpful tree fairy, and a gown made with magic moss…all combined to bring a unique flavor of old-time Florida to this beloved rags-to-riches tale. This show includes table-top puppets, storytelling and audience participation.

That Puppet Guy

Lee Bryan, "That Puppet Guy," is a nationally recognized touring puppeteer from Atlanta, GA, who has gained attention for his educational and innovative "puppet programs with a punch!" The Zany Zoo is hilarious variety marionette revue, performed entirely to music, featuring a merry menagerie of animal artists that will charm their way into your hearts, cabaret-style. Delights for the entire family abound in this action-packed show that's perfect for the young and even the young-at-heart.

 

Ajamu Mutima

This master storyteller and musician intertwines the melodic sounds of the African kora, flute, and drum with the resonate voice of the traditional Griot storyteller. In Stories and Songs from Africa: Music from the Heart, Ajamu Mutima brings to life the tales and traditions of West Africa.

INZIGNIA

Inzignia is a bi-lingual pop-rock band composed by a group of teenagers who live in Miami, Florida. Even though the band's members have different nationalities, backgrounds and personalities, they all share the Hispanic heritage, which is reflected both in their lyrics and their music.

The Pink Fairy

Every child's dream come true, The Pink Fairy is a delight to children of any age. Her program is an enchanting blend of fairy tales, songs and magic that will keep the audience spellbound.
