Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

 
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Performance Riverside's Discovery Theatre
From the moment he wakes up with gum in his hair, things just do not go Alexander's way. At breakfast, Alexander's brothers Nick and Anthony reach into their cereal boxes and pull out amazing prizes, while all Alexander ends up with is . . . cereal. The situation does not get any better at school, in fact it gets worse. No wonder Alexander wants to move to Australia! In Australia, everything is upside down, so maybe a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day can become a wonderful, terrific, really good day. After school, Alexander encounters even more bad news when he visits the dentist and goes shopping for sneakers with his mother and brothers. And Alexander's father isn't at all happy with him when the boys visit his office and Alexander gets a little carried away with the new copying machine! This terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day is enough to make anyone want to go to Australia!  ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY, the musical adaptation of Judith Viorst's popular children’s book, will be presented as part of Performance Riverside's DISCOVERY THEATRE series of plays for school groups, February 16 and 17 at Landis Performing Arts Center.
