CLICK, CLACK, BOO! A TRICKY TREAT Opens at Orlando REP, 10/06-11/09

It's Halloween! Duck, Pig, Cow, and Hen cannot wait to throw a Halloween party, complete with apple-bobbing, bottomless candy bowls, and a spook-tacular costume contest, against Farmer Brown's wishes, as he is afraid of Halloween. Join the barnyard crew as they show Farmer Brown that sometimes a little scare can be big fun in this new musical.
"From the moment I knew the book was being published, without even reading it, I knew it had to come to life on stage," says director Jeff Revels. "In this story, you will see that some of us are afraid of Halloween and with good reason! Haunted houses, horror movies, and tales of the supernatural can unnerve the bravest of us. But, you will find none of that here - the spirit of this story is to show us that we can put all that aside and enjoy a fun, laugh-filled (not shriek-filled) holiday. Like most holidays, we can experience it on different levels and this show takes us back to the simple, fun, do-it-yourself Halloween that we can celebrate joyfully with the children in our lives."
Click, Clack, BOO! A Tricky Treat runs Saturdays and Sundays from October 6 - November 9, 2014 at 2pm and 5:30pm. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for students, seniors (55+), and members of the military with valid ID, and $12 for the youth (ages 3 to 17).
Kids are encouraged to wear their family-friendly Halloween costumes to any weekend of the show, and join the barnyard gang for an onstage Halloween parade!
