How to Eat Like a Child
Written on April 30, 2007 by admin
She’s at it again!
After her smash directorial debut with “Guys and Dolls” last season at the Evergreen Playhouse, Alycea Elder is directing another musical. Only this time around it’s child’s-play.
This year she’s doing it for the kids, as well as with the kids. The Evergreen Playhouse 2007 season’s kids musical will be the highly acclaimed show “How to Eat Like a Child and Other Lessons in Not Being a Grown-up” by Delia Ephron, John Forster, and Judith Kahan.
The show is told from the Child’s point of view. There are 24 Lessons in which the kids describe how being a Grown-up is the most boring thing in the world and then describe how to torment us adults. It contains 13 fun and upbeat songs that range from How to Stay Home from School , How to Torture your Sister and that all time classic Refusing to Fall Asleep. The age range for the children performing is Kindergarten to 6th grade with both speaking roles, solo songs and group numbers available. Older children are able to help with the set, learn how the backstage works, or run lights.
