ImageOpening this year's 2009 Kiddstuff season is the jovial musical Really Rosie written by Maurice Sendak (Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen), with music by four-time Grammy Award winning songwriter Carole King.  Using their vivid imaginations and a heap of dress-up clothes, Rosie and her friends make-believe they’re producing an Oscar-worthy movie.

This musical treasure will have you singing along to King’s classics “Chicken Soup with Rice”, “Very Far Away,” and of course, “Really Rosie”!  Really Rosie is wildly entertaining, sparking the imaginations of children and adults alike.  Really Rosie integrates educational topics such as how to count and the alphabet, as well as life lessons such as how we can overcome fears and get along better with siblings.

Directing the play is Sherri Eden Barber, a Drama League director involved in the summer directing program with the Hangar. “Really Rosie is all about the power of a child’s imagination and kids nurturing each other’s dreams, if you believe it, you can make it happen…anywhere,” says Barber.

Families can join the Hangar for a Community Read at the theatre at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 13 and listen as a volunteer from the Family Reading Partnership reads the story aloud.  Bring a bagged lunch and join us outside under the tent for this informal gatherin.  Afterwards we’ll head inside and watch as Sendak’s characters come to life on stage before us!

Really Rosie at the Hangar Theatre is made possible with support from our sponsor Alphabet Soup.  The Kiddstuff season is sponsored by Wegmans and Ithaca Child.
