The Modlin Center was overrun with school kids last weekend. Nope, not our regular crowd of students. Spring break had just started so the college students had mainly deserted campus by Saturday morning. This day was all about the pre-school crowd. And they came out in droves!Moms, dads and grandparents brought their little ones to the Modlin Center to see the Dallas Children's Theater production of "If you Give a Pig a Party." This show, based on the popular books by Laura Numeroff about the Pig with the pancake, the mouse with the cookie and the moose and his muffin, brought all the characters together with their friends Cat, Dog and Girl, for a big party. And that was definitely the feel of things around our building.
Little girls in fancy dresses with big bows in their hair, or wearing matching outfits with their siblings. Little boys with trucks and cars on their shirts. The youngest ones carrying their favorite doll or stuffed animal, or a beloved blankie. The laughter in the theatre was priceless, and so different from the reactions of our normal, above age 10 crowd.
And I've never seen lines as long as those to meet the characters after the show (see photos). It was pure pandemonium to some, but adults and kids alike wouldn't have missed a minute of it. The smiles on the little faces as they had Pig sign their program, or took a picture with Mouse, was a sight to see.If you want to read more about it, and hear first hand from the adults that attended, then just look at the 20+ comments on our Audience Reviews board. Not a complaint among them!
My only regret after the three performances were over was that my own young nieces (all living out of town) weren't able to enjoy the show with me!
