About This Production

Alexander is having a bad day. A terrible day. A horrible day. To be quite honest, it’s a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But then, everybody has bad days, sometimes. In this delightful adaptation of her popular book, Judith Viorst sets Alexander’s childhood troubles to music and brings to the stage one of America’s feistiest characters. Alexander’s struggles with life’s daily dramas will not only entertain, but educate young audiences as they identify with Alexander and the obstacles he encounters, encouraging them to share their feelings and to realize that bad days happen everyone.

 

Critic and Audience Reviews

My seven year old grandson thoroughly enjoyed it and laughed out loud numerous times during the production. He wanted to meet the actors afterwards. What a great way to introduce children to theater!
