SCOTTSDALE (Sept. 29, 2016) – Desert Foothills Theater (DFT), a division of the Foothills Community Foundation, presents “The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley, Jr.” Friday, October 7 through Sunday, October 16 at The Summit, 32409 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 105, in Scottsdale. This is a temporary venue due to renovations at Cactus Shadows Fine Arts Center.
Directed by Mikaella Belsan with musical direction by Daniel Kurek, the youth production is based on the book Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown with illustrations by Scott Nash. The beloved fictional book shares the story of Stanley Lambchop, who was flattened in his sleep when a bulletin board fell on him. At just a half-inch thick, he and his brother Arthur embark on adventures as Stanley slides under doors, gets rolled up, is mailed in an envelope to people and is flown like a kite. He’s even able to catch thieves in a museum when he poses as a painting on the wall.
The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley was originally produced by Work Light Productions under license agreement granted by The Trust U/W/O Jeff Brown, Marc Ginsberg, Trustee. The Flat Stanley books are published by HarperCollins Children’s Books.
Performances take place: Friday, Oct. 7 and Oct. 14 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 8 and Oct. 15 at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Oct. 9 and Oct. 16 at 2 p.m.
Adult Tickets range from $16 to $21. Youth Tickets are $14 to $16.
