Walnut Street Theater Presents Madeline and the Bad Hat 9/24

Madeline and the Bad Hat kicks off the 2011-2012 Walnut Street Theatre for Kids Season at the Walnut on Saturday, September 24 with performances at 10:30 am, 1:00 pm and 3:30 pm.

Kids love Madeline and Madeline loves everyone, except her new neighbor! Pepito is rude and conceited. He is downright trouble, but when he is in real danger, Madeline helps him out. She learns that first impressions aren't everything. This super-funny original musical, where enemies become friends, teaches kids of all ages about acceptance, forgiveness and the unbreakable bonds of family and friendship.

Madeline and the Bad Hat by Ludwig Bemelmans is one of the most popular books of the Madeline series about a delightful little girl living at a boarding house in France during the late 1930's. Madeline's adventures take readers to a place where learning new lessons is great fun and a special friendship is the most important treasure in the world.

The Walnut Street Theatre for Kids Series is celebrated for bringing families together through reading and the arts. Each season encourages children to first read the books with a grown up friend, then watch the stories come to life on-stage. The Walnut takes pride in bridging the communication gap between parents (and grandparents!) and their kids.
Madeline and the Bad Hat is produced by ArtsPower. ArtsPower National Touring Theatre is one of America's preeminent producers of professional theatre for young and family audiences. Its 26 professional touring productions have been seen by more than 11 million people in 47 states - from Alaska to Florida - in some of the nation's top cultural centers, including The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and Lincoln Center in New York.
