THEATRE AND DANCE OPENS SEASON WITH MUSICAL OF BELOVED CHILDREN’S STORY, BLUEBERRIES FOR SAL
Theatre and Dance will open the 2024 – 2025 season during FSU’s Homecoming weekend with the children’s musical, BLUEBERRIES FOR SAL. The performance will take place on Saturday, October 19 at 2:00 pm in the Woodward D. Pealer Performing Arts Center.
Based on the cherished children’s book by Robert McCloskey, BLUEBERRIES FOR SAL THE MUSICAL brings all of your favorite characters to life in the imaginative setting of Blueberry Hill.
Kuplink, kuplank, kuplunk! Sal and her mother grab their pails and head to Blueberry Hill to pick delicious blueberries for the winter months ahead. On the other side of the hill, Mama Bear and Baby Bear also fill up on scrumptious blue morsels for the long hibernation. When fearless Sal and frightful Baby Bear wander off, they have a mixed-up adventure in the Maine woods. Featuring catchy and heartwarming tunes like “Big Big Kid,” “Little Pail,” “Why Does Winter Happen,” and “Learn to Fly,” BLUEBERRIES FOR SAL THE MUSICAL highlights the powerful bond between parent and child and the exuberant joy of wildlife, imagination, and self-discovery.
Directed by Nicole Mattis with Musical Direction by Michaela Hale and Choreography by Theatre major Grace Stevenson, Blueberries for Sal was adapted for the stage by Michael J. Bobbitt and Sandra B. Eskin with music and lyrics by William Yanesh.
