We believe Margaret Wise Brown herself would applaud this whimsical and wise adaptation of her family bedtime classic “Goodnight Moon.” While she penned a gentle lullaby that has lulled countless children safely into dreamland, the stage version takes us into the imagination of the child who quite simply is not interested in falling asleep! Imbued with theatre magic, the Great Green Room comes to life before our eyes. The kittens, the mittens ... the red balloon and the cow jumping over the moon ... the bowl full of mush and the old lady whispering "Hush" are all there ... tucked in with a few surprises. Although the book was written for the preschool set, ages 3 to 103 will be moonstruck by this joyous, gently mystical bedtime treat.

For Ages 3+/Grades PreK+
Best enjoyed by Preschool and Elementary ages

“Goodnight Moon, with its gentle sense of play, will appeal to its intended audience of children ... and also will charm the parents and grandparents who bring them.
– Mary Murfin Bayley, The Seattle Times

 “A magical musical.”
– Nancy Churnin, The Dallas Morning News
