FREE Program: School Daze presented by Wichita Children’s Theatre

Valley Center Public Library Posted on February 28, 2025 by LibraryStaffMarch 11, 2025

A fast-paced hilarious audience participation melodrama written by Tom Frye that will have your audiences cheering the Hero and booing the Villain for sure!

Our sweet new school teacher is perplexed by the children of Smartypants, Kansas. She’s never dealt with children like Rocky Boulder and the Tinselteena twins. Education will be turned upside down until she wins over her students with good old-fashioned teaching techniques… outsmarting the kids. To make things worse, her home will be foreclosed on unless she can pay the mortgage and it looks like Banker Q Nellyninny is not to be reckoned with.

What can happen with this tale of two plus two, maybe it will be a four-gone conclusion. You can’t miss this great story of good over evil!

RESCHEDULED – Tues. March 11, 10 AM, Sunflower/Cottonwood Room at the VC Community Center/Library
