Here's John with his friend AJ, in the recent Saltworks production of Honk Jr. John played the lead goose as the flock tried to migrate south.
Honk Jr. is a musical version of the ugly duckling story. It's a great kids production not only because of the nature of the story, but also the dialog and songs.
Great kids entertainment works on two levels. A simple story for the kids and one level up for the grown-ups. That way the whole family can enjoy the show and talk about it later.
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle is a great example. First created in the early 1960s, it had the usual good guy/bad guy kids story but with an overlay of cold war spies.
Hmm, John's costume even looks a bit like Rocky the flying squirrel...
