Busytown

By Kevin Kling

Music by Michael Koerner

Lyrics by Kevin Kling and Michael Koerner

Based on the book What Do People Do All Day? by Richard Scarry

Directed by Linda Hartzell

There’s a place for everyone in the busy world of a child’s imagination.

Busytown is always buzzing with activity. But what do people do all day? That’s where Huckle Cat comes in—he’ll take us on a tour of his great neighborhood. And there is so much to see and do, so many wonderful friends to visit. Huckle shows us how Farmer Pig and Grocer Cat work together to bring food to the town. Construction Worker and his crew build new houses, and Firechief and the gang keep them safe. Isn’t it wonderful how everyone works together to keep Busytown busy?

Using fantastic movement and puppetry, in the same tradition of Go, Dog. Go!; Peter and the Wolf; and Goodnight Moon; we bring another classic children’s story to vibrant, singing, dancing, exuberant life—just as your child imagines it.
