1. THE THREE PIGS
Kaleidoscope Theatre will be touring all over New
England and beyond this month with “The Three Pigs.”
This original adaptation of the traditional tale is
all about show business! The three pigs are
trying to make it onto America’s Barnyard Idol, but
that big, bad Elvis-loving wolf has stolen their
ticket to the big audition!
Can they get their ticket back in time? Can Mama Pig
save them from the Wolf? Will the Pigs make it big
in show
business? Join us at one of our upcoming shows to
find out!
“The Three Pigs” opens this Sunday, October 11th for
the North Shore Musical Children’s Theatre, located
at the Saugus
Senior Center (466 Central St., Saugus, MA). This
performance is at 2:00pm and tickets can now be
purchased online from our website
here
Tickets are $13 online or $12 at the door and as
always, the ticket price includes a free ice cream!
