THIS PROGRAM followed one presented on Wednesday by the Omaha Theater Company, which staged its own production of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie in the auditorium. Students in first through third grades were treated to a play about a young boy who finds himself running in circles to accommodate the demands of a bossy mouse. If you give a mouse a cookie, then he will surely need a glass of milk. If you give him a glass of milk, then he will surely need a straw, then a napkin. The demands never end! "It's a very humorous play," said James Larson, artistic direc- tor of Omaha Theater Company. "The play teaches children the meaning of life is to be happy and to make others happy." Joining the actors an stage were giant-sized specialty props and a special "split-stage" design that allows for the illusion of two co-existing worlds of different sizes. "One side of the kitchen is scaled to the size of a young boy, a little bit bigger than normal since the boy is played by an adult," Larson said. "The other side of the kitchen is scaled to the size of a little mouse, so it is much, much larger than normal. Both sides of the stage represent the same area of the kitchen." THE STORY is based on au- thor Laura Numeroffs children's book of the same title. It was adapted for the stage in 1992 by playwright Jody Davidson. She is the founder or co-founder of sev- eral prominent children's theaters including the Rainbow Company Children's Theater of Las Vegas, Nevada. The Omaha Theater Company is one of the nation's leading tour- ing companies for children's the- ater. It serves more than 500,000 people each year by performing coast-to-coast at more than 60 dif- ferent venues. Shelton Junior Programs is an organization of local volunteers who have been working with partners in Olympia since the 1998-1999 school year. Their goal is to bring theatrical productions to Mason County.
