production blends the
tale, "Brother Son,

with such others as the
Story, "The Hunterman and
," and the Ethiopian
Lion's Whiskers." The
is Michael Katz, who
on stage by actor Jeff
and musician Michael An-
who brings to the produc-
West African rhythms:
Adoonde and Czar.
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.
