ABOUT THIS SHOW
Happy as Clams, The Musical - Pre-Kindergarten – Grade 4
Music and Book by Lena Pennino Smith; Musical arrangements by Brian Smith
7 Actors, 1 Stage Manager, 3 Musicians
Back by Popular Demand! A live musical adventure set in Long Island’s Great South Bay. Meet Clammy the clam who confesses she is not “happy as a clam”. Clammy and her best friend Grabby the fiddler crab set out to seek happiness by wishing on a star. They learn about creating friendships on their journey where they meet a love-struck fluke, and float with a jelly. This new quartet meets up with the hungry rock performer, Sea Star, and her Stomach. Then the chase begins, but will friendship prevail? Written by award-winning family performer/journalist and Long Islander, Lena Pennino Smith, this popular show gets everyone singing, dancing and “CLAMoring” for more (while sneaking in some local environmental science and geography).

UPCOMING SHOWS
Elephant & Piggie’s We’re in a Play! – Pre-Kindergarten – Grade 2
Book & Lyrics by Mo Willems; Lyrics by Deborah Wicks La Puma
5 Actors, 1 Stage Manager, 1 Musician
Enjoy a musical adventure, ripped from the pages of Mo Willems' beloved, award-winning, best-selling children's books. His classic characters Elephant and Piggie storm the stage in a rollicking musical romp filled with plenty of pachydermal peril and swiney suspense perfect for young audiences. Carefully cautious Gerald and spirited playful Piggie share a day where anything is possible in an imaginative explo- ration of the meaning of friendship. The comedic duo addresses such important questions as, what do you wear to a fancy pool costume party, should you share your ice cream, and how can two friends play with one toy? Together with nutty back-up singers, The Squirrelles, our duo even gets the audience in- volved in the action. Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Play!" is a perfect way to introduce young people to theatre.

GRUFF! is an interactive, family-friendly and puppet-filled musical about saving the world from environmental disaster!

In a world where goats have transformed their home into a junkyard, nothing green grows. The elder goats send the young goats, Gruff, Clancy, and Grif to seek food which grows from the ground. In the Valley of the Trolls, Aquifer and the troll community are protecting green plants from invaders. Gruff and Aquifer meet on the bridge between their two lands and discover they have much in common. Can the elders see the benefits of working together for a new future?
