“This is what family theatre is all about and the Santa Monica Playhouse offers the best. Kids will delight in it all as will adults!” The Tolucan Times. It’s a finger-snappin’, toe-tappin’ zany musical romp following the romantic antics and showbiz aspirations of the swingin’ singin’ McPig Sisters and their canine admirers, complete with exciting audience participation. “Sheer enjoyment…mixes elements of 1940s boogie-woogie, Grand Ole Opry-type vaudeville and a Romeo and Juliet story line.” L.A. PARENT This rib-tickling Family Theatre Musical for Kids 2 to 102, created by the internationally acclaimed team of Chris DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie, proves once and for all that friendship doesn’t depend on size, color, background, “species” or nationality. “Really funny! A darling play to see!” Culver City Star News. Directed by Graham Silbert from original direction by Chris DeCarlo and book, music and lyrics by DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie, you’ll go hog wild over the talents of Actors’ Repertory Theatre performers Holly Gibson, Isabel Lindley, Michala Peltz, Joesph Perez, Graham Silbert, Megan Wright and J.T. Melaragno as the debonair wolf in sheep’s clothing, Lou P. Wolfman. “Everyone loves this show,” says Playhouse audience coordinator Patricia Williams. “Girls, boys, parents and grandparents, residents, out of town visitors - everyone comes out singing the songs and smiling.” Acclaimed designer James Cooper’s delightful 40s diner - festooned with a collection of more than 100 vintage piggies of all shapes and sizes – is worth the price of admission. A big helping of audience participation and a sprinkling of puns and word play add an extra pig-me-up to the overall enjoyment of this hilarious musical comedy. Those delicious piggies will tug on your hamstrings, giving a whole new meaning to the term “pig out!” NOT just for little kids! “Best Parties In LA!” cbs.com For that special day, Family Theatre Musicals also offer complete birthday parties with every performance.
