Queens Theatre (QT) and Managing Director Taryn Sacramone are "proudly looking forward to the many family-friendly offerings of the spring season", including electroluminescent puppets of LIGHTWIRE'S DINO and three exciting shows based on best-selling books, such as THE MONSTER WHO ATE MY PEAS, JUNIE B. JONES, and PETER PAN.
Queens Theatre is located at 14 United Nations Avenue South, in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Single tickets are $14 or purchase a Family Series Flex Pass for $100 (10 tickets to use however you want.) Tickets are available online at www.queenstheatre.org or by calling the Box Office at 718-760-0064. Tickets may also be purchased in-person at the Queens Theatre Box Office, Mondays from 10am to 2pm, Wednesdays through Sundays from 10am to 6pm.
Sacramone, a mother herself, is eagerly looking forward to the Family Series shows planned for the spring. "I love seeing families at the theatre. When I see children filing out, after a show, and talking to their parents about their favorite parts of what they just watched, I know that Queens Theatre has succeeded in creating great memories for them. Children are naturally imaginative and creative, and when they are exposed to cultural events at a young age, I know that their interest in the arts will continue."
The schedule for the upcoming family series is as follows:
Dino (Sunday March 2, 2014 at 1:00pm and 3:00pm): From the creators of Ugly Duckling comes another show glowing with electroluminescent puppets!
