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.
