TOMI dePAOLA'S STREGA NONA THE MUSICAL
Saturday, Jan. 15, 2011
Recommended for ages 4 and above
STREGA NONA is the musical tale of a friendly magical witch - with a funny name - who strives to cure the ills of her tiny Italian town of Calabria. The town faces real problems when a local lug named Big Anthony sneaks a peek at Strega Nona's magic book and uses Strega Nona’s magical ways for selfish means. When Anthony fools with the magic pasta pot, and can't figure out how to turn it off, pasta threatens to engulf the whole town. This fantastical tale teaches that witches can be good, and that and you can’t judge a pot by its pasta!

DARWIN THE DINOSAUR
Saturday, April 2, 2011
Recommended for ages 3 and above
Darwin is much more than a pet: he is a dinosaur - a wild and primitive creature. Though Darwin learns to take his first steps from his creator, he is, after all, a dinosaur. His animal instincts eventually take over. In Darwin's explorations, he encounters many different types of living creatures, learning the value of both good and bad, love and hate, friends and enemies. What Darwin takes from these life lessons are up to him, and only he can decide his fate.
