PAPA Youth Workshop Presents RUN, TURKEY, RUN Through 11/18

Thanksgiving is upon us, and The Rep's PAPA (Portsmouth Academy of Performing Arts) Youth Workshop is serving up all the fixins in their original musical "Run Turkey Run". A musical based on local children's author Diane Mayer's book of the same name, with original music and lyrics by Miles Burns.

This hilarious holiday send up mixes the work of PAPA's youth actors as well as some The Rep's resident actors as well.

Hilarious and heartwarming, this toe-tapping and riotously written musical is sure to bring a smile to families faces.
