What's Happening -- Pollyanna Theatre & The Funny Bun Family Picnic
It is no secret that we love, Love, LOVE Pollyanna Theatre and we could not be more excited to see their latest show: The Funny Bun Family Picnic.
The new play by Emily Cicchini follows a not-so-average family as they hit the road.
It’s a fine summer Saturday and the Funnybuns are preparing to go off on their annual family picnic. But, being a clown family, nothing goes as planned. Papa Willie tries hard to keep the kids laughing, while Mama Lindy keeps putting on band-aids. Brother Happy likes to rope, roughhouse and goof off. But sister Buffy wants none of it. She’s embarrassed by her clown family, and wants to be different. Willie has a sad but true secret, one that threatens to pull the family apart. Can Buffy find a way to follow her dreams? Will the family stick together? Come join the fun and see! For family audiences ages 4 and up.
I know we will be there. Will you join us? Below are the dates. Take a break from the Austin heat and head to the very cool Long Center.
