Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 11:00 AM. Art To Grow On Inc. is participating with the Torrance Cultural Arts Foundation on this family theater performance! We will provide free art projects after the show! For more info and tickets about this particular show: www.kennedy-center.org. Presented by The Kennedy Center Theatre for Young Audiences, based on the book Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale by Mo Willems... "If you've ever felt lost, then you'll know just how Trixie's favorite stuffed Knuffle Bunny feels when he's left all alone. If you've ever felt loved, then you'll know just how Trixie, Knuffle Bunny, and their family feel when they're together. It sounds so simple, just a quick trip to the Laundromat with Daddy, Trixie, and her beloved Knuffle Bunny. Before you know it things go horribly, hilariously wrong. Chockful of adventure, song, and gigantic dancing laundry, Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Musical tells a tale of firsts: a stuffed animal's first trip to the laundry, a little girl's first words, and a Daddy's first time dealing with his child going 'boneless.'"
