"Seeing the magic of live theater come alive in the eyes of a child is priceless," said Connie McGinnis, assistant director of Celebrity Series at ¾¨Ó㴫ý. "Children are so uninhibited and unpretentious when they attend a performance. They clap; they laugh; they dance in the aisles. Theater is real to them and there is nothing more entertaining for a family to do together than attend a show. The kids won't take their eyes off the stage and the parents won't be able to take their eyes off the joy on their children's faces. It's truly a feel good experience for all."
This show presents the well-loved characters from Birdwell Island including Emily Elizabeth, Cleo, T-Bone, Jetta, Charlie, and, of course, Clifford in an energetic spectacle for the whole family. With memorable songs, dancing and the characters kids love, Clifford fans will love this show that celebrates the timeless values of teamwork and friendship.
