GIGGLE, GIGGLE, QUACK

Tuesday, March 8 − Wednesday, March 9 • 2011


Giggle, Giggle, Quack  

APPLAUSE SERIES SCHOOL PERFORMANCE


GIGGLE, GIGGLE, QUACK 
DALLAS CHILDREN’S THEATER

GRADES K-4 • CAPACITY 2,000
CIVIC CENTER MAIN HALL 

In this hilarious sequel to the barnyard blockbuster Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type, good ol’ Farmer Brown leaves his city-slicker brother detailed instructions on how to take care of the animals while he is away, including the warning “Keep an eye on Duck. He's Trouble."  When the instructions fall into the wrong hands (or wings!), Duck takes the opportunity to do a little re-writing. Pizza for the hens, bubble baths for the pigs, and a movie night for the cows are all part of the wacky fun that results. Lessons of respect, compromise, and friendship are planted in this colorful musical based on Doreen Cronin’s popular book series.
