And now on to the season...Math Quest: An Adventure with Numbers
September 22nd- November 19th
recommended for 2nd-5th Graders
Charlene is a 4th grader who is stressing over an end of the year test. She neither likes nor understands math and is unable to shake the anxiety- even in her sleep. When her head hits the pillow, she enters Math Land, a dream world populated by numbers where math concepts come to life. Characters like Mr Uno, Mrs Dos, Mr Sum, Mrs Difference, and a chorus called The Decimal Points all help Charlene master the concepts she'll need for her exam. The show's music is written by the Tony Award winning composer Jack Herrick and the national award winning study guide was developed by Duke University (available to download at our website... www.rcenter.org).
Ferdinand the Bull
November 20th only!
recommended for k-5th
Come meet Ferdinand, the mild mannered star of the Nashville Ballet's newest production, based on The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf. Children and adults alike will be charmed by the lovable bull that would much rather sit in the field and smell the flowers than fight and fuss like all the other bulls. Through Ferdinand's gentle spirit, children learn to appreciate and embrace what makes each of us special and realize that, sometimes, stopping to smell the flowers is a better response than putting up a fight.
Jack Frost Saves Christmas
December 1st-18th
recommended for k-6th grade
Children of all ages will watch in wonder as a penguin, a polar bear, a rabbit and a raccoon appear from the snow to lead the ever silly Jack Frost on an amazing adventure through the city of Christmastown in the entertaining new musical. Through song and dance, Jack discovers his amazing talents and manages to heroically save Christmas. With songs like Countdown to Christmas and Gifts are for Giving, the audience will experience the joy and magic of the season and will leave the theatre ready for the holidays!
