THEATRE ONE Presents FROG BELLY RAT BONE & APRIL FOOLS US!
March 30 @ 7:00 pm - July 1 @ 10:30 pm PDT
The exciting THEATRE ONE 40th season is in full swing!
A family musical based on Timothy Basil Ering’s much loved children’s book on March 30th, 2025, 2pm at the Malaspina Theatre (Vancouver Island University).
Once upon a time, in a dull, gray endless place called Cementland there lived a very special boy who wished to find TREASURE. After much searching among piles of greasy toaster ovens and wet smelly socks, he spies a box filled with specks and a wrinkled note that says “Put these wondrous riches in the earth and enjoy.”
Horrified to learn that thieves are after his treasure, the boy scrounges through the junkyard and conjures a creature to stand guard – a scarecrow like gardener with crooked bony arms, a giant belly, and a jaunty crown – Frog Belly Rat Bone
Incorporating beautifully handcrafted puppets and an original pop/rock musical score, Cementland comes to life as two enigmatic garbage collectors tell the story of a very special boy, and the treasures he brings to his world.
Suitable for children from Kindergarten to Grade 7.
Free parking at Vancouver Island University on Sundays.
Frog Belly Rat Bone is generously sponsored and supported by the City of Nanaimo, Mid Island Co-op, Nisa.net+, Nanaimo News Bulletin, British Columbia Arts Council, and the BC Live Performance Network. TheatreOne acknowledges the financial support of the Province of British Columbia.
