The critically acclaimed Making Books Sing will premiere two new musicals for family audiences in the 2014-2015 season. The Amazing Adventures of Harvey and the Princess and The Beautiful Game come on the heels of last season's hit shows Ballerina Swan and Dear Albert Einstein (Off-Broadway Alliance Award nomination).

The Amazing Adventures of Harvey and the Princess

Music and Lyrics By Laurie Berkner

Book by Barbara Zinn Krieger

Based on the Book "Harvey the Child Mime"

Written and illustrated by Loryn Brantz

Directed by Marty Johnson

Harvey is an amazing kid who doesn't need much to be happy - just his family and his imagination. When he accidentally gets shipped to Pink Mountain Island (in an imaginary box!), he meets a Princess whose royal family needs a lesson in fun and togetherness. This upbeat musical, directed by Marty Johnson (James and the Giant Peach, The Adventures of Flat Stanley) celebrates what happiness is really all about. Best for ages 3-8.
