DM Playhouse Friday Funday Presents STONE SOUP, 4/9

The Des Moines Playhouse presents "Stone Soup," Friday, Apr. 9. This story is part of the 2009-10 season of Friday Funday, a creative participatory story theatre program for children ages 4-6. Performances are at The Playhouse, Friday, Apr. 9, at 9:30 and 10:30 AM, and 1:30 PM. Admission is $5 per person, adults and children. Reservations are suggested and can be
made by calling The Playhouse box office at 515-277-6261.

In April's featured story, "Stone Soup," selfish villagers don't want to share any of their food. Then two travelers (and a stone!) show up with a recipe for soup.

Join the Clubhouse at The Playhouse Gang each month, September-May, as they
dramatize a favorite story using their imaginations and the costume pieces
and props they find in their magic trunk. Audience members learn the
Clubhouse pledge and secret handshake, and listen for the word of the day.
They even help act out the story. Shows are approximately 45 minutes in
length.

The 2009-10 season concludes with "Caps for Sale," May 14.

The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at
the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of
shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences
including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and
volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
