The Kelsey Theater Presents DUCK FOR PRESIDENT And More

Life's quirky situations often provide valuable teaching moments. TheatreWorks/USA brings some of these lessons to the stage in its hilarious hour-long musical revue for children, "Duck For President, Fancy Nancy and Other Story Books," coming to Mercer County Community College's Kelsey Theatre as part of the Kelsey Kids Series on Saturday, Oct. 9 at 2 and 4 p.m. Kelsey Theatre is conveniently located on the college's West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.

Exploring such themes as friendship, leadership, the discovery of what matters most, and the trials of just growing up, there is merriment and poignancy aplenty in a show that includes six popular story book adaptations. Performed by a five-member cast portraying dozens of characters, the stories include: "Duck for President" by Doreen Cronin and Betsey Lewin; "Fancy Nancy" by Jane O'Connor; "BabyMouse, The Musical" by Jennifer L. and Matthew Holm; I Have to Go!" by Robert Munsch; "Leonardo, The Terrible Monster" by Mo Willems; and "Pirates Don't Change Diapers" by Melinda Long.
