Your entertainment will begin with an opening performance by kids in the community who have signed up to be a part of Play For A Day. After the opening act, Madcap Puppets will hit the stage for their hilarious slapstick adventure Twains Twisted Tales. About Twains Twisted Tales: Clara’s ordinary day takes an unexpected twist when Mark Twain’s most beloved characters escape from her book!!

The stories included are: The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, Legend of Sagenfeld, and selections from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
