Seating is first-come, first-served. Doors will open for seating 15 minutes before each show. This free show is made possible by a grant from the Bertha Stebens Charitable Foundation. Masks are optional.
Who will win the big election for Leader of the Beasts? Will it be Benny P. (for Progress) Beaver or Terry E. (for Environment) Turtle? Listen to their stump speeches and decide who YOU want to vote for! But how about that colony of ants? There are a zillion of them; they could change the outcome! And Worm: will her vote count for anything? Madame Owl will keep you informed with her reports from the top of a tree!
In addition to being fun and entertaining, this show will activate kids’ interest in our election process. It includes a mock election with paper ballots that will be collected during the show and counted by “The Bunny Board of Elections.” The candidates and issues are clearly defined and the news media are represented by Madame Owl’s Reports.
Please call 641-421-3666 to register groups of ten or more for the daytime shows. No registration is needed for the 6 pm show. Schools are eligible for a bus subsidy while funds last.
