JPAS Theatre for Young Audiences Presents I DIDN'T KNOW THAT Today

By:

Jefferson Performing Arts Society Theatre for Young Audiences presents I Didn't Know That, directed by Phillip A. Benson, today, September 13, 2013. The show is a light-hearted revue of first facts, selected oddities, and world records.

The GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS, the most popular reference book for young people, is now incorporated in this creative and exciting new
comedy for children. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT! taps the "trivia" craze sweeping the nation by presenting over 50 startling facts. Audiences have "oohed" and "ahhed" in amazement to learn such fascinating facts as the first policewoman, the origins of superstitions, and the world records for leapfrogging, sneezing, egg-laying. Rapidfire sketches and songs make this a world winner with young audiences.

Starring: Jordan Parrish, Francesca McKenzie, Logan Foy and Phillip A. Benson.

Tickets can be purchased at the door: $8 Adults; $5 Students/Children. The show runs on Friday, September 13th, 2013 at 7:00pm in the Slidell High School Auditorium, #1 Tiger Dr. Slidell, LA.
