Wild Swan Theater will bring family entertainment right into your living room vis Facebook Live link might bring us. Starting July 9, gather your family for four evenings of Wild Swan style stories, short plays, and music headlined by favorite members of our talented troupe of professional actors and musicians.
The series kicks off Thursday evening July 9 at 7:30 with two wonderful stories: Arnold Lobel's Owl and the Moon from his book Owl at Home and Bonny Becker's A Visitor for Bear, both featuring Wild Swan treasured actress Sandy Ryder. Longtime Wild Swan favorite musicians San Slomovits and Emily Slomovits will join the fun and spirit of the Variety Show theme with their rendition of Moon River to accompany Arnold Lobel's lovingly created character, Owl.
Families can look forward to more favorite stories for three more July Thursdays including Frog and Toad trying to eat just one more cookie and children's all time favorite bear Winnie-the-Pooh.
