Theatre-at-Tusculum and Actors Coming Together will invite audiences to revisit their childhood in the production of the musical comedy, \u201cHow Eat Like a Child (And Other Lessons in NOT Being a Grown-Up)\u201d during the weekends of Feb. 27-March 1 and March 5-8.<\/p>\n

Director Marilyn duBrisk has assembled a cast of 28 talented young people for a hilarious musical romp through the joys and sorrows of childhood. Lessons in such subjects as how to beg for a dog, how to act after being sent to your room, how to laugh hysterically, and of course, how to eat like a child are presented in a series of fast-paced vignettes that should delight and amuse both the young and the young at heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow to Eat Like a Child\u201d is based on the book of the same by Delia Ephron and has been adapted for the stage with book by Ephron, Judith Kahan and John Forster, who also wrote the music and lyrics. The musical version was originally produced as a NBC prime time television special in 1981 starring Dick Van Dyke.<\/p>\n

The stage production has been called a \u201cmusical revue for children that can also be enjoyed by adults [with] a charming and witty score\u201d by Backstage magazine. \u201cApplause, applause, applause!\u201d wrote Steve Allen and the Hollywood Reporter called it \u201cdelightfully clever.\u201d TV Guide praised the show\u2019s Broadway-style songs and imaginative script.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assisting duBrisk in bringing this production to the stage are assistant director Brian Ricker, vocal director Angie Clendenon and choreographer Kim Berry. Costume creation is under the direction of Barbara Holt, and the stage and lighting design is by Frank Mengel. Pianist Christopher Beste will provide musical accompaniment.<\/p>\n
