Children's Theatre Kicks Off 2009-2010 Season With BUSYTOWN 10/24-11/7

Yum! Family Series Program and Stage One: The Louisville Children's Theatre are thrilled to kick off the 2009-2010 season of theater for young audiences with the Richard Scarry classic Busytown!
With over 300 children's books in his resume, Richard Scarry's books of anthropomorphic animals made him a very popular children's author.

His most famous series was that of Busytown! Now, with the help of lyricist Kevin Kling (Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse) and Michael Koerner, the musical stage version is coming to Stage One! Busytown is always buzzing with activity. But what do people do all day? Just ask Huckle Cat! Join Huckle on a tour of his great neighborhood, with so much to see and do, and so many wonderful friends to visit. Learn how Farmer Pig and Grocer Cat work together to bring food to the town, how Construction Worker and his crew build new houses, and how Firechief and the gang keep them safe. It's wonderful here in Busytown, don't miss the trip!

Recommended for ages 4 - 8.
Busytown is presented October 24 at 10 am and 2 pm, and November 7 at 10 am and 2 pm at The Kentucky Center, Bomhard Theater.
