Portland Ovations to Present SKIPPYJON JONES at Merrill Auditorium, 3/29
Portland Ovations brings the bestselling children's book Skippyjon Jones to life onstage at Merrill Auditorium for a Sunday morning Family Series performance on March 29th at 11am.
Skippyjon Jones wants to be the best Chihuahua ever. Not just any Chihuahua, but a swashbuckling, sword-fighting, romantically noble one. The only problem: he's actually a Siamese cat! Before you can say "Holy guacamole," Skippyjon's wild imagination transforms him into El Skippito Friskito, donning a mask, a cape, and an accent he becomes the greatest canine sword fighter in old Mexico. But when the local pack of Chihuahuas is terrorized by the gigantic bee, Alfredo Buzzito El Blimpo Bublebeeto Bandito, will Skippyjon be a 'fraidy-cat or the top dog?
Based on the bestselling book by Judy Schachner, Skippyjon Jones is an enchanting musical about unleashing your powerful imagination and following your dreams. This TheatreWorks USA's musical adaptation boasts "witty lyrics" and a "multitextured score" (The New York Times).
Recommended for children 5-10 years old.
Tickets to Skippyjon Jones are $12 and may be purchased online at www.portlandovations.org, contacting PortTIX at 207.842.0800 or visiting the box office window at Merrill Auditorium.
