You can when Mrs. Piggle Wiggle discovers the most exciting possibilities in life’s most humdrum things. Children love her because she’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Parents love her because she can cure kids of any bad habit! Based on the much-loved Mrs.Piggle Wiggle stories by Betty MacDonald, this musical comedy is certain to entertain and delight both children and adults. Recommended for ages 5+ _____________________________________

Carmen Souza is an incandescent female singer of Cape Verdean ancestry, a jazz-tinged chanteuse with a cool, smoky sound. Born and raised in Lisbon and now based in London, Souza grew up speaking both Portuguese and Cape Verdean Creole. Immersing herself in the traditional rhythms of West Africa and Cape Verde, she honed a highly personal sound combining traditional rhythms and song forms with jazz and Brazilian influences. _____________________________ Kirkland Arts Center Summer Art Camp Play, Create and Make Friends at KAC's Summer Art Camp for Children Ages 5-12.
