A Spoonful of Mary Poppings, A Stick from Nanny McPhee, A Page from Dr. Spock, and A Small Dose of Supernanny
The Children's Theatre Company presents The Magic Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, The Magic is Back April 22 through June 15
For Immediate Release: March 10, 2008
She's as successful as Dr. Spock, has a dash of Miss Frizzle and part of Mary Poppins, topped of with a generous pinch of Nanny MacPhee. She's Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and she's back by popular demand at the Children's Theatre Company (CTC)!
This coming spring, The Magic Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle returns with all the Gracefulness Powder, magic and imagination she can fit in the lump (it's not a hump!) on her back.
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle lives in an upside down house with a wisecracking parrot and has cures for ailments that affect children of all ages-like Answer-Backeritis, Heedless Breakerosis and Fighter-quarreleritis-and she's a problem solver for children and parents alike.
Most enjoyed by children ages 5+, The Magic Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle runs from Tuesday, April 22 through Sunday, June 15. Tickets start at $22.50 and can be purchased through the CTC Ticket Office at (612) 874-0400 or visit The Magic Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's online ticketing page at www.childrenstheatre.org/ticketoffice/ and click on Single Tickets or School and Group Sales.
