Children’s Tour

"Outstanding... thank you for bringing
diversity and culture to our community!"
 - Gina Sherlock, Teacher, Mexico, NY

Each fall, the Bank of America Children’s Tour brings high-energy, interactive, and culturally diverse performances to elementary school audiences.

Each performance is fully staged with scenery, costumes, and sound. You need only provide the stage, cafeteria, classroom, or any open space!

Performances include a talkback with the actors and our helpful study guide for further classroom exploration. Pre- or post-show sessions with our talented Teaching Artists can be arranged upon request.

Annabel Drudge had a very bad first day at her new school...and she’s not going back. “Not with another 179 days left to go.” Her ever positive parents Phillip and Ima Drudge try to convince Annabel that she is special and will find friends who won’t care that she wears a leg brace. Annabel doesn’t want to be “special,” she just wants to fit in. With help from her Nana, a midnight journey to Istanbul and a pair of magical slippers, Annabel discovers just how special she is.

 

Performed in striking visual terms, Annabel Drudge… and the Second Day of School offers an extraordinary opportunity to share a rich theatrical experience with your students. The writer/director, designers, performers, and production crew are students and professionals from Syracuse University Department of Drama and Syracuse Stage.

 

“With vivid, funny and attention-holding characters, Annabel Drudge…and the Second Day of School is warm-hearted, wacky, and wonderful. Conveying important lessons about accepting who you are and staying positive through difficult times, Annabel Drudge…and the Second Day of School speaks to young audiences without talking down to them. Annabel herself is pleasantly prickly and adorably grumpy. Kids will love her .”

– Timothy Bond,

Producing Artistic Director
