FAMILY SERIES SUCCESS

 'Curious George'
a Smash Hit,
'Peter and the Wolf' Coming Next
Bolstered by the $20,000 corporate sponsorship of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Longy's Family Series is off and running for 2007-08. The first performance, "Curious George Goes to Music School," attracted so many families on October 28 that after the scheduled show, the cast graciously gave an impromptu second performance. In photo, Cristi Catt, a Longy faculty member and '95 alumna, helps 3-year-old Dustin, who conducted his new choir--all 325 people in the audience.
Next in this four-part series is "Peter and the Wolf," Sunday, December 9, 2 PM. For more information, click here and to buy tickets, click here.
