Walnut Street Theatre company to put on “The Boy Who Cried Bully” at Blackwell Library

April 19, 2011

Wednesday is supposed to be sticky (about 80 degrees we’re told) and thunderstormy. Since the public school kids are home this week for spring break, a cool event might be The Boy Who Cried Bully, a free performance put on by the Walnut Street Theatre’s touring company at the Lucien E. Blackwell West Philadelphia Regional Library (52nd and Sansom).

Here is a description of the play from the Walnut Street Theatre website:

“Meet Nate, a typical third-grader with a love for telling tall tales. Nate’s biggest problem is Sam, a fifth-grade bully who has it in for him and his friends. Thankfully, Bob the Bully-Buster visits to teach Nate’s class what they can do to identify and prevent bullying in school. Based on the classic Aesop’s fable, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, this honest, funny and engaging production looks at stretching truths and accepting differences.”

The performance begins at 4 p.m. on Wednesday and is suitable for kids K through 5th grade. For more info call the library at 215-685-7424.
