The Little Engine That Could

Watty Piper’s The Little Engine That Could is one of the greatest tales of motivation ever told! Powered by his well-known refrain “I think I can, I think I can” and YOUR HELP, the Little Engine overcomes seemingly impossible odds to carry a train full of toys over an imposing mountain. Colorful trains and life-sized toys come alive on stage to teach children about the power of optimism in this interactive, inspirational and all-around entertaining production.

This is the first time this legendary, all-American tale has been adapted for the stage! But the fun can’t happen without you, because you are a PART OF THE SHOW! (60 minutes; recommended for children ages 4 to 9)
