Eisemann Center's Family Theatre Series Opens With MADDI'S FRINGE

Eisemann Center Presents Maddi's Fridge produced by Childsplay Theater on Tour on Sunday, October 13, 2019 at 2:30 pm in the Hill Performance Hall at the Eisemann Center. Based on the book Maddi's Fridge by Lois Brandt, this play is a gentle, yet sometimes hilarious exploration of friendship, empathy, and doing the right thing.

Maddi and Sofia are best friends. They live in the same neighborhood, go to the same school, and play in the park together. Maddi is really good at climbing the rock wall, while Sofia is a fast runner. One day Sofia discovers that Maddi has no food in her fridge at home, but Maddi makes her promise not to tell anyone and to keep it a secret. What should Sofia do? She sneaks food for Maddi in her bag and discovers that while fish and eggs are good for people, they aren't very good for backpacks. Despite Sofia's very best efforts, Maddi's fridge is still empty. Can Sofia find a way to keep her word but also help her best friend?

The Eisemann Center, Network of Community Ministries, and ER Near Me, are working together to do their part in fighting childhood hunger and food scarcity, a topic familiar for almost 50% of Richardson residents.
