WST FOR KIDS SERIES WELCOMES<br />
THE 2012–2013 SEASON!<br />
Every year, tens of thousands of kids fill the <strong>Walnut</strong><br />
<strong>Street</strong> <strong>Theatre</strong> with laughter, applause and excitement.<br />
In a world full of electronic distractions, the<br />
WST for Kids Series aims to bring families closer<br />
through reading and the arts. Reading the books<br />
together before going to see the stories come to life<br />
on stage not only bridges<br />
generation gaps, but also<br />
creates memories that will<br />
last a lifetime. Parents and<br />
grandparents love bringing<br />
their children to see entertaining<br />
musical shows that<br />
deliver enduring, real-life<br />
lessons in a welcoming,<br />
kid-friendly environment.<br />

four spectacular musicals<br />
based on your kids’ favorite<br />
books! Kicking off the<br />
season will be Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great.<br />
