Tarradilldle Players presents: The show was wonderful! |
Loyd Artists presents: Farmer Jason offers educational concerts on themes of ecology, farming and farm animals, the diversity and beauty of the forest, outdoor life and exercise, and history. His songs, with their stick-in-your-head hooks, teach subtle lessons while successfully introducing children to a surprisingly complex musical ecosystem
|
Tarradiddle Players presents:
"Tarradiddle Travels" March 2, 2010 Tarradiddle Travels explores four simple folk tales from four different countries. The stories include classics like “Caps for Sale” (a Sudanese story) and less familiar stories like “Mouse Marriage” (from Japan). Three actors tell the tales in a playful storytelling style that makes clever use of colorful prop pieces and involves audience interaction. A great introduction to live theatre for our youngest audiences. |
All Pre- K shows begin at 9:30 am at the Southwest High School Auditorium.

*****NEW THIS YEAR*****
 |
|
March 29 & 30, 2010 Tarradiddle Players from Charlotte for Kindergarten Mike Mulligan and his beloved Steam Shovel, Mary Anne, have been together for many years. They’ve dug holes for famous canals, railroads, highways, airports and skyscrapers. But times have changed and newer, fancier shovels have become fashionable, leaving Mike and Mary Anne out of work and down to their last dime. Their final hope could be the little town of Poppesville , which needs a basement dug for its new City Hall. Mike and Mary Anne are determined to get the job, but first they have to outbid the Diesel Shovel, the Electric Shovel and even the state-of-the-art, cappuccino-making Nucleonic Diggatron! Virginia Lee Burton’s 1939 classic tale of hard work, determination and friendship comes to life in Eric Lane Barnes’ delightful musical, in which we learn that the newest, biggest or most expensive isn’t necessarily the best. |
All shows are at Northside High School
9:30 am & 11:30 am
Who does the shoe fit?
