Giggle, Giggle, Quack
Duck is on the loose, when Dallas Children’s Theatre brings madcap musical mutiny to Tilles Center on Sunday. All ages will enjoy this musical adventure based on Doreen Cronin’s barnyard series of books. Good old Farmer Brown has left his city-slicker brother in charge of his farm while he takes a much-needed vacation. He’s left detailed instructions on how to take care of the animals so that nothing will go wrong, including the important warning “Keep an eye on Duck. He’s trouble.” But when the instructions fall into the wrong hands (or wings!), mayhem ensues.
Sunday, March 27, 2 p.m. $20 and $12. Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, C.W. Post Campus, Rte. 25A, Brookville.
(800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com or www.tillescenter.org.
