Best-selling children's book comes alive on stage

Sugar Loaf — Kings Theatre Company will present “If You Give a Moose a Muffin” at the Lycian Centre for the Performing Arts in Sugar Loaf on Sunday, Oct. 16, at 1 p.m. and Monday, Oct. 17, at 9:45 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. The show is based on the bestselling children’s book by author Laura Joffe Numeroff. In this hilarious sequel to the runaway hit “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” the young host is again run ragged by a surprise guest. If a big, hungry moose comes to visit, you might give him a muffin to make him feel at home. If you give him a muffin, he’ll want some jam to go with it. When he’s eaten all your muffins, he’ll want to go to the store to get some more muffin mix. The Monday morning performances are perfect for pre-school and elementary school groups. Each performance only one hour long and specially priced for groups with 25 or more students. Tickets are only $15 for adults and $12 for those 18 years old and younger. For more information or to buy tickets, call the Lycian Centre Box Office at 845-469-2287 Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., or visit www.LycianCentre.com.
