Wichita Children’s Theatre Presents: The Ugly Duckling

Thursday, November 16th at 9:30 AM and 1 PM

Free to the public thanks to a grant from the Republic County Community Foundation

Everyone thinks the little newborn is just plain ugly. He doesn’t look like the
others, he doesn’t talk like the others, and he certainly doesn’t act like the others.
He is just so different in so many ways – and on a farm, different isn’t so good.
Our hero soon helps everyone learn an important lesson about fitting in, and how,
sometimes, the smallest person can be the biggest bully. Young audiences
will love watching this musical adaptation of the Ugly Duckling turning into a
Handsome Swan and they will learn the importance of individuality and finding your
place in the world.

This show is recommended for Pre-K to 2nd grade.

Wichita Children’s Theatre Presents: The Adventures of Flat Stanley

Friday, November 17th at 9:30 AM and 1 PM

Free to the public thanks to a grant from the Republic County Community Foundation

Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary, everyday, run-of-the-mill ten-year-old. That’s
just the problem… life is too normal. He wants to travel the world, do something
amazing, and do something no one’s ever seen before. Careful what you wish for,
Stanley! One night, the bulletin board on the wall above Stanley’s bed comes
loose and falls – right on top of Stanley! The next morning, Stanley Lambchop
wakes up flat… really, REALLY flat! In a whirlwind musical travelogue, Stanley
scours the globe for a solution to his unusual problem. As he’s stamped, posted
and cancelled from Hollywood to Honolulu and beyond., Stanley is closing in on
his goal of being a three-dimensional boy once more. Based on the best-selling
book series, The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley is filled with infectious songs
and non-stop adventure, making this a perfect show to introduce young
audiences to the magic of live theatre.

This show is recommended for 3rd to 5th grade.
