CINCO RANCH BRANCH LIBRARY FEATURES CHILDREN’S THEATER PERFORMANCE OF CHICKEN BIG

In conjunction with Fort Bend County Libraries’ Summer Reading Challenge, the Cinco Ranch Branch Library will host a production of Chicken Big, a children’s theater performance, on Wednesday, July 10, beginning at 2:00 pm, in the Meeting Room of the library, located at 2620 Commercial Center Blvd in Katy. The performance will be repeated at 3:00 pm. This family-friendly performance is based on a children’s book written by Keith Graves and adapted to the stage as a one-act musical by Books Alive! In this quirky revision of the classic “Chicken Little” story, a very small hen lays a big, giant egg. Out of this egg came one big, humongous . . . something. No matter how hard they try, these clueless chickens can’t make sense of the gigantic new member of their family -- until he saves the day! Told with wacky, laugh-out-loud humor, this tale has silliness to spare! The performance is presented by ARTreach’s Books Alive! program, which develops and performs musical-theater performances based on beloved children’s books that inspire literacy and promote theatrical creativity, while sending many positive messages. Recommended for children in grades 1-5, this performance is made possible by the Friends of the Cinco Ranch Branch Library. The performance is free and open to the public.
