Theatre, Dance Hits Portsmouth's Summer in the Street

The 13th Annual Summer in the Street, a program that began as a pilot to identify pedestrian-friendly street closures back in 2003, invites all to “Kids In The Street” this weekend, according to a press statement.

The program, produced by Pro Portsmouth, will feature UNH’s Little Red Wagon and the Seacoast Civic Dance Company on Saturday, July 11.

The Little Red Wagon company will perform, “What’s all the comOcean?,” a musical puppet show featuring Haddie, an adventurous haddock, and her marine adventures.

The Seacoast Civic Dance Company’s performance will feature highlights from their current repertoire of “One Singular Sensation.”

A special note of thanks goes out to our supporters: King Real Estate, Lyons Law Offices, Bellamy Fields and Yogibo.
