So long, Cinderella. Hello Frog Princess!

Best wishes from all of us at Menomonee for a happy and healthy New Year!
As you may know, we have recently partnered with Three Cat Productions to help us in delivering the best theatre program around town.  This session, we are featuring The Frog Princess, and rehearsals begin THIS WEEK.  As with many Three Cat plays, the script, music, and dances are an original adaptation of a classic story.  What we love about Three Cat is that they make plays from stories that kids know, written FOR KIDS, which allows them to shine!

If you or someone you know might be interested in joining us, we encourage you to come this week and check us out!  Kindergartners and 1st graders meet on Thursdays from 4:15-5:15, and 2nd-5th graders have two options of Fridays 4:15-6:15, or Saturday mornings 9:30-11:30am.  Three Cat Education's phenomenal programs are engaging, educational, and FUN!  This week is an open opportunity for you to check us out, free of charge, and if you like us, stick around and register for the program!

Because of many school schedules not quite matching up with ours, we understand that some families may be wanting to join us, but aren't yet back in town.  As a result, auditions for the play will be held over the first two weeks of class, to allow everyone a fair shot.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Jason (jsmith@threecatproductions.com) or Jacque (jlueken@threecatproductions.com) directly, or email me at lauren@menomoneeclub.org.  We will do everything we can to meet your needs.  Meanwhile, please enjoy these great shots from our previous show, Cinderella!
