Giveaway: Judy Moody & Stink are Coming to Adventure Theatre!

A couple of favorite characters from children’s books will come to life on the Adventure Theatre stage this spring! Judy Moody & Stink: The Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Treasure Hunt will run from April 20 – June 3, and you have a chance to win a Family 4-Pack of tickets to see it.

Here’s more about the show recommended for ages 4 and up:

Third grade has put Judy Moody in a mood. She’s got to figure out what to include in her “Me” collage, and her know-it-all little brother Stink keeps getting in the way. When the Moody family drops anchor on “Artichoke” Island, they meet Cap’n Weevil with a secret treasure map, launching them on a mad dash across the island in search of gold. But they’re not the only salty dogs lookin’ for loot! Can Judy Moody and Stink outwit their competition in time? Will Judy finish her project? Come aboard as we launch this world premiere and find out!

Enter to Win Tickets to “The Hobbit” by Encore Stage & Studio

 

Encore Stage & Studio, the performing arts group that presents theatre by kids for kids, has a new production opening this week. The Hobbit will open at the Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre on Friday, October 26, and run through Sunday, November 4. And I’m giving away a family-four pack of tickets to see it. Here’s a description of the show:

Take an exciting journey through Middle Earth with an ordinary hobbit, Bilbo Baggins! Encore is pleased to bring J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved novel to life onstage. Bilbo and a throng of dwarfs embark on an adventure to reclaim important treasure, encountering goblins, trolls, and even a dragon along the way. But, as the great wizard Gandalf advises, be sure not to stray off the path!

Obviously, I haven’t seen this show yet, but I have seen a couple of Encore Stage & Studio productions and they are always very entertaining — kids take on most of the roles, which I think kids in the audience love to see.

The show, recommended for ages 4 and up, will be performed at several times on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during both weekends of its run.  Tickets are $12/adults, $10/children, students, & seniors.

Giveaway: For a chance to win the family four-pack of tickets to see The Hobbit by Encore Stage & Studio, just leave a comment below. To be eligible, you must like KidFriendly DC on Facebook and follow on Twitter (let me know you did). A winner will be drawn at random in a couple of days. Good luck!
