CAPS FOR SALE to Play Merrill Auditorium, 11/1
Portland Ovations brings Adventure Theatre's hilarious new musical adaptation of the children's classic Caps for Sale to Merrill Auditorium for a Family Series performance on Sunday, November 1st at 1pm.
"Caps! Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!" is a refrain familiar to generations of children who have grown up with Esphyr Slobodkina's timeless classic. In celebration of its 75th anniversary, Adventure Theatre TMC adapts Caps for Sale - the story of a hapless (and soon to be cap-less) hat peddler who encounters some mischievous monkeys along his sales route - into a brand new musical that jumps off the page and onto the stage with song, dance and live accompaniment, this treasured tale bursts with happy harmonies, merry melodies and quite a bit of monkey business that is sure to enchant the whole family!
Ovations Offstage offers a Cap Making Workshop at the Sam L. Cohen Children's Library, Portland Public Library on Saturday, October 24th at 10:30am - 12pm with MECA teaching artists to create your own fun cap to wear! Demonstration will begin at 10:30am but teaching artists will be able to assist throughout the workshop. Materials will be provided, and you will have a chance to enter Ovations' raffle to win a set of tickets to Caps for Sale on November 1st! For grades pre-K-3.
