Library Show Themes
Each year Bruce and his friends use the theme chosen by
the Collaborative Summer Library Program. Their performance stresses
the enjoyment and importance of reading as well as the value of using the
resources of our public libraries.
Shows include four to six characters that best fit into
the year's theme with a fast paced blend of ventriloquism, magic, singing,
and audience participation.
