Click, Clack, Moo
Best enjoyed by kids ages 4 and up
A TheatreWorks USA production
Based on the hugely-popular Caldecott Award-winning children’s book by Doreen Cronin
All day long, Farmer Brown hears "click clack moo, clickety clackety moo..." To his dismay, his cows are typing on a typewriter, protesting their working conditions and even demanding electric blankets! Eventually the on-strike cows and Farmer Brown are forced to reach a mutually agreeable compromise, with the help of an impartial party - the duck. But this poor, beleaguered farmer's unusual troubles are not over yet! This uproariously funny tale will give young rebels-in-the-making a taste of the power of diplomatic protest and the satisfaction of cooperation. A hilariously "moo-ving" new musical all about the delicate art of compromise.
A note to parents from Gina and Freyda, TYKEs co-founders –
Hi Parents! After several billion tiny battles with our own young kids over everything from wearing flip flops to school during a snowstorm to eating cotton candy for breakfast, we bring you the gift of this fabulous show. It might just bring a little extra peace and harmony to your home, no typewriter required! Happy Holidays!

Order Tickets NowA Year with Frog and Toad
Best enjoyed by boys and girls ages 4 and up
Based on the beloved classic children’s books written by Arnold Lobel.
Arnold Lobel's beloved characters hop from the page to the stage in this exuberant musical conceived by the author’s daughter, Adrianne. True to the spirit of the original stories, this energetic performance follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad, through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.
