Children can experience all the ups and downs of the popular children's book, "The Monster Who Ate My Peas," as it is presented onstage at The Alden in McLean. The show, part of the 2014-15 McLean Kids Performance Series, will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25. Ticket prices are $15, $10 for McLean tax district residents.

Based on the multi award-winning book written by Danny Schnitzlein and illustrated by Matthew Faulkner, ArtsPower's new musical tells the funny and poignant story of a young boy who doesn't want to eat his peas. When a crafty monster appears underneath his kitchen table, the boy is ready to make a deal with the monster. If the monster will eat his peas, the boy will give the monster his possessions. First, he gives his soccer ball; then, he gives his bike. When the monster raises the stakes, will the boy refuse the monster and make the difficult decision to face his own fears? Children and adults alike will be entertained and engaged by this wonderfully written tale about the value of will power.
