Spooky Action Theater is good about seeking out interesting works from unusual sources. Their latest is from Carole Frechette, an award-winning Canadian playwright whose work has only sporadically been produced in the states.

Fresh this month at Imagination Stage comes Lulu and the Brontosaurus, an adaptation of the children's book by Judith Viorst. The story centers around a young girl, Lulu (Casie Platt) who is an unlikely heroine- a spunky little kid who is as lovable as she is a total pain.

Imagination Stage kicks off an enormously fun season with the world premiere of Lulu and the Brontosaurus, a musical based on the book by popular local author and poet Judith Viorst. It is a story about an unforgettable little girl who learns a lot about sharing and listening to others. Lulu and the Brontosaurus runs in Imagination Stage's Annette M. and Theodore N. Lerner Family Theatre now through October 27. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
