SYNOPSIS   |   SCRIPT (112kb PDF)

All the loveable characters of the popular children's books and PBS animated series come to life in a delightful Halloween adventure they'll never forget. Arthur is put to a brave test when he must save his sister DW who has wandered into the dreaded "witch's" house down the street.

Upbeat music and lyrics combine with a charming story which not only thoroughly entertains audiences of all ages, but instills some very basic lessons for each child--it's OK to be scared sometimes, first impressions can be wrong, and even the smallest person can be a hero.

*About the recording currently available....

While we are in the process of creating a better recording to represent ARTHUR'S HALLOWEEN, the one that is currently available was recorded live during a performance at the Erie Playhouse, Erie, PA. where the main characters were all portrayed by children with an average age of 8 or 9. As such, the quality of the recording is not the best, but it does at least allay any concerns you may have that the piece might be beyond the abilities of young performers.
