Henry and Mudge at Aventura Arts and Cultural Center

Moving from the city to a new home in the country can be tough. Just ask Henry, who can't find a playmate in his new neighborhood! Luckily, he's got Mudge, a great big, 182-pound canine buddy with whom he can share all kinds of adventures! Henry discovers that having a pet is a big responsibility. Not only do they need to be fed and walked, they need lots of TLC, playtime and training. Henry teaches Mudge to sit, heel, and shake his hand, but rolling over seems impossible, that is, until Henry's cousin Annie comes for a visit. Mudge is so charmed he rolls over on command. Feeling rejected and sad, Henry runs away into the cold dark woods to find adventures on his own. Mudge loves Henry and follows the boy's scent into the forest. Will the two friends be reunited? Find out in this Theatreworks musical, based on the best-selling series of books by Cynthia Rylant.

The Family Fun experience begins pre-show with free arts and crafts activities provided by Young At Art Museum and face painting by Curly Sue and friends. After the show, the entire family can enjoy complimentary snacks from Whole Foods. Presented at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center as part of the Family Fun Series.
