Youtheatre Presents: Corduroy
Youtheatre brings the classic tale of Corduroy to the stage in collaboration with the Allen County Public Library, part of the Stories from the Stacks series and directed by Leslie Beauchamp. A small bear missing a button longs for a place to belong, then ventures through a closed department store at night, discovering courage and creating a bit of mischief along the way. Inspired by Don Freeman’s books Corduroy and A Pocket for Corduroy, this production celebrates friendship, belonging, and the comfort of being loved just as you are. Created for young theatergoers and welcoming to all, the show features playful storytelling and imaginative staging that families can enjoy together. It runs about an hour with no intermission. Select performances include a post show conversation or a relaxed format with a pre show talk. The play is adapted for the stage by Barry Kornhauser with music by Victor Zupanc. It was originally commissioned and produced by Children’s Theatre Company and is presented by special arrangement with Plays for New Audiences. Performances take place in the Main Theatre at the Allen County Public Library.
