Kids can see a magic show and get their faces painted. The famous feline's visit is in celebration of National Children's Book Week. An additional performance is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Saturday. This adaptation of one of Shakespeare's best-known plays is set in the 50s and 60s to great rock and roll tunes. Young actors ages 5 to 17 take on the Bard and have a blast.
Tickets are by donation at the door.
