We love taking our kids to livetheater but we're not fans of the ticket prices. That's why I look forward to Theatreworks USA's FREE annual summer kids' shows, which the nonprofit troupe has been presenting in NYC for the past 24 years.
This year's production is a page-to-stage musicalization of Judith Schachner's Skippyjon Jones, a series of whimsical picture books about a Siamese cat who goes on fantastical imaginary adventures. For young fans of the feline's exploits, the show is like catnip but even if your kids aren't familiar with Skippyjon Jones, they'll be charmed by his limitless energy and creativity.
