Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible,
No Good, Very Bad Day (Musical)
May 8, 9 & 10

Book and Lyrics by Judith Viorst. 
Music by Shelly Markham

Alexander is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But then, everybody has bad days, sometimes.  In this delightful adaptation of her popular book, Judith Viorst brings the feisty character of Alexander to the stage and sets his rather trying life to music. 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 bad days happen - even in Australia.

Run Time: 1 hour (approx).
Recommended for ages 4 - 7 years
