If You Give a Mouse a Cookie LIVE at Woodbury Public Library

As part of the New Jersey Theatre Alliance's The Stages Festival and Family Week at the Theatre, Centenary Stage will be here with a live performance of the beloved Laura Numeroff book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.

It has been adapted for the stage by Jody Davidson and is an adventurous, fun-filled performance appropriate for ages pre-k through 5th grade.

For those of you unfamiliar with the book, you should know that it's about a rather demanding mouse in coveralls and a backpack who shows up in a curious boy’s kitchen one day. The boy soon finds himself figure skating on scrub brushes, wrestling a boa constrictor, and climbing mountains, as an innocent milk and cookie snack time goes from mishap to calamity to catastrophe faster than the twitch of a whisker.


FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Pre-register by RSVPing here, or by calling the library at 856-845-2611.
