Get Buggy with a Worm, a Spider and a Fly
by Mina Frannea
In its regional Southwest premiere, Dallas Children’s Theater’s Diary of a Worm, a Spider and a Fly artfully weaves together three of Doreen Cronin’s popular children’s books. Directed by Joan Cushing, Diary of a Worm, a Spider and a Fly brings to life a cast of lively and colorful characters. The show combines engaging story lines with interesting facts designed to educate the audience about each of the characters. The factual tidbits are nicely done via a large screen in the background, classroom show & tell sessions and occasional “pop up” appearances by the cast that are quite funny! The production also incorporates several high energy musical/dance arrangements featuring hip hop, rap, ballads and boogie-woogie music.
