She Thinks She's Queen Elizabeth But She's Dirty Gerts to Me
“She Thinks She’s Queen Elizabeth But She’s Dirty Gerts To Me”” is a paper doll and pop-up extravaganza! This one-of-a-kind show for families is a groovy blend of historical fiction, ‘60s pop culture, and colorful confetti. Twist and shout with middle schooler Carol Lee Bell as she finds the trick to fitting in, and discovers the best way is to not actually fit at all!
All ages welcome, recommended for ages 5+
