Clowning, puppetry, and live original music turn the alphabet into an interactive adventure. Performers Honey Goodenough and Harry LaCoste bring letters and words to life while musician Paul Watkins scores each scene; children meet vowels, teach tricks to a “C-A-T” and “D-O-G,” and visit a surprising “Z-O-O.”
Inspired partly by creator Honey Goodenough’s experiences with dyslexia and literacy challenges, the 45-minute show combines education and comedy. It welcomes all ages and is especially recommended for ages 3–7.
