How to Eat Like a Child

How To Eat Like A Child is based on the Viking book of the same name by Delia Ephron. The musical version began its life as an NBC primetime special, which premiered on September 22, 1981, starring Dick Van Dyke.

This musical romp through the joys and sorrows of being a child is hilarious. Children give 23 lessons in such subjects as how to beg for a dog, how to torture your sister, how to act after being sent to your room, and how to laugh hysterically. The pace is fast, the tone subversive, and the recognition instant.

Bring your family for an evening of fun, laughs, and a bit of parent therapy!


(We’re just kidding on that therapy bit…sort of!)
