LOGAN — The Wichita Children’s Theatre Professional Touring Company will present “The Three Little Kittens” at the Logan School Auditorium on Thursday, March 9, at 9:30 a.m., and “Yankee Doodle” at 1:30 p.m.
The three little kittens have lost their mittens--but they're not just going to sit around and cry about it! These are definitely not your ordinary house cats. Help the kittens find their mittens and save them from their hideous fate — a time out! The kittens all learn many valuable lessons but the most important is to always tell the truth. The Three Little Kittens is a musical comedy adaptation by Kevin M. Reese based on the popular children’s story.
Yankee Doodle is a musical comedy with a broad sweep of big and little deeds accomplished by men and women whose lives have impacted the United States. Yankee Doodle is a rousing salute to the “movers and shakers” which includes famous as well as forgotten figures and events. This patriotic extravaganza glorifying American achievement is told through a sequence of dramatic vignettes from Paul Revere to Charles Lindbergh, from the creation of the ice cream cone to the beginning of mass-produced Valentines, from the inventions of Thomas A. Edison to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Yankee Doodle is a modern classic that will inspire, inform, and entertain young audiences.
The Wichita Children’s Theatre Professional Touring Company performs from September through February in Kansas and Nebraska. The Company is professional in every facet, complete with storybook sets, costumes and props appropriate for each production.
The performances of “The Three Little Kittens” and “Yankee Doodle” in Logan is sponsored by the Hansen Museum and made possible by the Dane G. Hansen Memorial Foundation.
