On Stage

Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood
The gang from the hugely popular “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood,” based on the hit PBS Kids TV series, takes to the stage in a new adventure, “King for a Day.” The pint-sized Tiger in the familiar red sweater is actually the son of the original Daniel the Tiger who appeared on the beloved ‘60s show “Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.” In this modern makeover, Daniel and all of his friends are involved in a new adventure in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe where Daniel learns just what it takes to be king. New songs, a lively story and surprise guests captivate the preschool set as Daniel finds out that there’s more to being king than being powerful. In this tale, kindness and friendship rule the day.
Sunday, Oct. 29, 4 p.m. $78 (includes a Meet and Greet), $48, $38, $28. Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, LIU Post, Rte. 25A, Brookville. (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com or www.tillescenter.org.
