Kids are invited
to spend the afternoon with a popular character from children's
literature. ArtsPower National Touring Theatre presents a new musical,
"Fish Face," adapted from the Kids of the Polk
Street School series, at MCCC's Kelsey Theatre on Saturday,
Oct. 6 at 2 and 4 p.m. Kelsey Theatre is conveniently located on
Mercer's West
Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
Based on the
book by two-time Newbery Honor-winning author Patricia Reilly Giff
and illustrated by Blanche Sims, "Fish Face" tells the
story of Emily Arrow, a child who can do lots of things well when
she has Uni, her toy unicorn, to bring her luck. But when a new
girl, Dawn Bosco, appears, everything changes. Dawn seems to be
good at everything. Worst of all, Emily discovers that Dawn has
stolen her unicorn. Should Emily reveal Dawn's terrible secret?
Will anyone believe her? Children will relate to Emily's plight
as she learns lessons about friendship, honesty and growing up.
