| The Family Theatre at the
Mishler series was developed by BCAF in 1986 to create more cultural
opportunities for young people. With the consistently declining budget
allocations for arts programs within the school district, the
continuation of these valuable programs becomes an even greater
priority. This annual series of professional productions attracts
nearly 20,000 children, parents, and educators each season and makes a
significant contribution to the early childhood educational process.
We choose our plays with tender loving
care, making sure that each and every presentation reinforces the
wonderful family values of laughing, learning, and loving. So
please join us for a wonderful 2009-2010 season. |

This hilariously “mooo-ving” musical about
negotiation and compromise features shivering
cows in a cold barn who use a young girl’s laptop computer to demand their
requests for blankets! When their demands are not met, the cows go on
strike, and the chickens join them in solidarity!
