Alexander, Who's Not Not Not Not Not Not Going to Move

Alexander, Who's Not Not Not Not Not Not Going to Move

Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts at Brooklyn College concludes its 2015-16 season on Sunday, May 15, 2016 at 2pm with Two Beans Productions’ Alexander, Who’s Not Not Not Not Not Not Going to Move. Based on Judith Viorst’s best-selling Alexander…series, this new family musical teaches us that home isn’t a house or a place on a map—it’s wherever you are when you’re with the people who love you. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased at BrooklynCenter.org or by calling the box office at 718-951-4500 (Tue-Sat, 1pm-6pm).

About the show

Alexander has just received some really, really, really, really, really, really bad news. His dad has taken a job in a city a thousand miles away, which means that he and his family are going to have to move to a whole new city. And even though his mom says, "Wait, you'll like it," Alexander already knows that he'll hate it. He can't bear to leave the people and places he loves, so he decides that he won't move. First he tries to live with three different neighbors. Then he tries to build a tent so he can live by himself. Then he decides he'll hide so that his parents'll never find him, but that doesn't work out either. With a little help from his mom and dad and even his bossy older brothers, he finally understands that home is "where your family is, where you're with the people who love you best of all."
