Who says that family fun has to stop in the winter? Sure, chilly temps can make going out less tempting, but there are so many reasons to brave the wintry air and live theater is one of them!
New Victory Theater is currently showing, “Emily Brown and the Thing,” an outstanding London-based musical performance that taps into kids’ imaginations with a wonderful tale of kindness and adventure. Adapted from the popular children’s book by Neal Layton and award-winning author Cressida Cowell, the 60-minute show tells the story of a bright young girl named Emily Brown who is on a mission to turn in with her best stuffed bunny. However, her quest for dreamland is thwarted by several inane requests made by a pesky, yet endearing unidentifiable creature, better known as a thing.
