Maine State Music Theatre to Present Children's Interactive Programs at Curtis Memorial Library

Maine State Music Theatre will present "Magic Time: A Program of Story and Song" - combining classic fairytale literature with contemporary musical adaptations - on Friday, February 24, 2017, at 10 AM and 3 PM at the Morrell Reading Room at Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick.

The free hour-long children's programs will feature readings from the original books and live performances, video, and audio from MSMT's 2017 Theatre for Young Audiences shows, Sleeping Beauty and Alice and Wonderland. Curt Dale Clark, MSMT's Artistic Director, and local actress and educator Kristen Thomas will perform with Marcia Gallagher on keyboards and with Youth Services Librarian Pam Jenkins and Broadway World's Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold serving as narrators.

The programs are designed to be interactive with children having the opportunity to meet the artists involved and ask questions. Prior to the performances, Curtis Memorial Library will make available reading lists and story and media materials for youngsters to borrow, and at the performances, study materials and activity sheets will be distributed to involve the children in the continuing imaginative process.

Both programs are free to the public and are supported by a generous gift from the Maine Humanities Council.
