The ¾¨Ó㴫ý Celebrity Series will present "Arthur Tricks the Tooth Fairy" Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.
The live theatrical presentation is based upon Marc Brown's beloved children's books and Emmy-winning PBS series. Arthur, everyone's favorite aardvark, and his family and friends star in a delightful musical adventure.
The show features the lovable, intrepid Arthur; his feisty sister, D.W.; his good buddies, Buster and The Brain; his nemesis, Francine; and new stars including the warm, wise and wacky Tooth Fairy.
An innovative, page-turning pop-up storybook set and special effects move the story through Elwood City, Arthur's house, Mr. Ratburn's classroom, the dentist's office, and the Dinosaur Museum.
The show stresses the values of teamwork, learning, and the joys of just being a kid. It features a dozen original songs including "Good and Ready," "The Loose Tooth Wiggle," and "T-Rex Rocks."
This show is partially underwritten by Dr. Richard M. Ribarevski, D.M.D., M.D.S., of New Castle and by the Radisson Hotel Sharon.
