SUMMARY:"Once Upon A Shoe" and "Bad Play"
DESCRIPTION:See both “Once Upon A Shoe” and “All I Really Need to Know I Learned by Being in a Bad Play” in this special double feature performance on Sunday\, June 27 at 2:00 p.m. \n“Once Upon A Shoe” by Joseph Robinette: Mother Goose sadly announces to her children that they must leave their home—a large\, comfortable shoe—and move to an old sneaker “across the tracks.” The children decide to “put on a show” to save their shoe\, and in the best Garlandooney tradition\, they proceed to enact eight of Mother Goose’s best poems. In the audience\, a stranger turns out to be the famous movie producer Cecil B. DeMillstream and\, of course\, he loves the show! The shoe is saved and Mother Goose and her troupe are off to Hollywood. This production is performed by children in grades 2-6. \n“All I Really Need to Know I Learned by Being in a Bad Play” by Werner Trieschmann:  Based on several disastrous theatrical experiences\, “Bad Play” peels back a tattered curtain to examine the process of putting on a show that is less than good. A stuffy narrator (what bad play is complete without a stuffy narrator?) guides the audience through the whole sorry process. We go from the audition—where the director is more worried about roast beef than paying attention to the warm-up exercise\, and the neurotic cast pretends to be bacon—to rehearsals—where a passive-aggressive stage manager gives everyone grief. There’s also a special meeting of the Small Part Support Group and a production of Romeo and Juliet set in a Starbucks with costumes of potato sacks and bowler hats. This production is performed by children in grades 7-12.  \n“Once Upon A Shoe” is produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock\, Illinois \n“All I Really Need to Know I Learned by Being in a Bad Play” is produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock\, Illinois
