Book and Lyrics by William Schermerhorn Music by Mary Ehlinger What's a penguin to do when he's allergic to snow?! This December, we are continuing our new educational outreach program thanks to a Creative Communities Grant through the Wisconsin Arts Board. We will be presenting the musical "Percy the Poor Little Penguin" at Doty Elementary School, who will be receiving a corresponding arts integration curriculum. The musical, dubbed the "Coolest Show on the Planet," stars a penguin named Percy who has the bad luck of being allergic to snow, and follows how his friends try and help Percy to find someplace warm. No news yet if this will be open to the public. |
