It was definitely past my bedtime, but we all know how easy it is to keep scrolling. And then I struck gold with a delightful play advertised on Instagram, to be performed by the North Carolina Theater for Young People at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. I love theater for young people and have fond memories of taking my own children to summer children's theater at the University of Houston. And this production is the world premiere of this particular play. And this particular play features the Lincoln sisters who live on Deckawoo Drive and a certain "porcine wonder" who loves hot buttered toast!
If my clues led you to guess the Mercy Watson series by Kate DiCamillo, you are well versed in early chapter books. Our grandsons also love the Tales from Deckawoo Drive series by the same author. These short chapter books with their joyful laugh out loud humor have been favorites of our boys for some time.
The play did not disappoint. We giggled, we encouraged characters with our applause, and we met the performers after the show. A perfect introduction to children's theater for our three North Carolina grands, ages 4, 6, and 9! We look forward to a long association with the North Carolina Theater for Young People at UNCG, all thanks to my late night scrolling.
