“Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus! The Musical!”
***** Theater for little ones is fun! Over the years, I have watched many a performance geared for the little one; the future theater audiences are learning at these productions. There are many theater companies that do only children’s theater and then there is The Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre in Lincolnshire. This theater-in-the-round offers marvelous performances, one hour in duration, that for the most part utilize the existing set of the mainstage show for adults. The current production is one that I previously watched at The Greenhouse Theatre in Chicago, where they could use a set and have the audience on one side looking into the action. At Marriott, this is not the case, people are watching from all four vantage points, so the director has to make sure that the action is viewed clearly by all of the audience. Not always easy, but in this case, Lorenzo Rush Junior works his magic in getting done to perfection.
