Niswonger PAC celebrates kids

“Veggie Tales Live” comes to the Niswonger on November 10 for an earlier-than-normal start time of 7 p.m.  If you are looking for an exceptional kid’s show that is both entertaining and morally positive for your child or grandchild, than “Veggie Tales” is the show for you.

Getting its start in 1993, this kids’ show took the children’s TV programming by storm!  Who would have ever thought that a bunch of talking and singing vegetables (and we all know vegetables are good for you) with names like Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber would become one of the most popular children’s shows of all time!

Based on Bible stories and Christian morals, “Veggie Tales” soon became a popular TV, video, and eventually live stage show. The stage show which we are bringing to Van Wert is inspired by a classic “Veggie Tales” favorite song, “Little Guys Can Do Big Things Too.” This live stage show encourages kids that even though they are small, they can be used by God to do big things.

We are starting the show 30 minutes earlier than our normal evening shows, so hopefully you can get the “little ones” back in their beds at a reasonable time while visions of cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins, and asparagus dance in their wee little heads.

Jeffery-Mohr Dentistry in Van Wert, as well as First Federal of Van Wert and the Decatur Daily Democrat, brings the show to you. We thank them for bringing a positive message in a delightful show to town for young children to enjoy.  I’m sure it will be a memorable experience for those in attendance.  Certainly, the music and message will stick with everyone for a long time.

Because of these fine sponsors, we have been able to keep the ticket prices at an affordable rate, beginning at just $15. You can get tickets on line at NPACVW.ORG or in advance at the box office or at the door the evening of the show on November 10.  Remember, it’s a 7 p.m. start time!

Another wonderful show involving kids is going to be held this Sunday at 3 p.m.  Ethan Bortnick, star of two PBS specials, will be joined on stage by 100 middle school kids from Crestview and Lincolnview.  We are so pleased to offer this performance experience to these special students from our Van Wert County schools. They have been working on music for over two months and I’m sure are primed to raise the roof with pieces like “We are the World,” “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, “We’re All Family,” and “Lean on Me.”

It will be a wonderful Sunday afternoon of incredible entertainment as we bring one of PBS’s biggest stars to the stage of the Niswonger Performing Arts Center. Tickets are going real fast. Just a few remain. I can’t guarantee there will be any left at the door this Sunday.

Join the Niswonger as we help celebrate our young people with two shows even adults will enjoy!

FINÉ.
