A Smile says, “Hello,” in any foreign land and kids will be full of smiles from the beginning of this program to its conclusion. Greg uses songs and stories that will get the audience up and involved with the performance.
During the show, Greg introduces fun stories, songs, and musical games from around the world. This show is very fast paced as the songs and activities move quickly to cover many parts of the world. Greg brings out his musical "Show and Tell" of folk instruments from around the world and talks about the cultural origins of today’s “American” instruments. These are hands on instruments and every kid gets to play something. After the rafters ring and the ground shakes with laughter and fun, everyone settles down for a quiet family browse through the library and a calm ride home with the parents (If the parents aren't too wound up).
We don’t have to look very far to find out what people from other parts of the world are like. There are people in our lives that have many stories from their heritage. We just have to listen.
Free tickets will be given out at the Children's Desk beginning July 12. Call the Children's Desk for more information.
