ETA: We saw it! And it was good! There was a super creepy weird part with this one guy who thought his liver was going crazy and he was jumping all around. And a girl he knew did an operation for him and she  cut his stomach open! It looked real and then it looked like she was grabbing in his body for his liver, but she was just grabbing in his coat and she pulled his liver out! But it was just pretend.

But the water pipe that broke during the show wasn’t pretend! There was smoke alarms going off. That was scary, too. And the actors played along like it was part of the show, but it wasn’t.

We’re going to see Wolf Under the Bed at the Wexner Center! It’s part of their International Performing Arts Series for Families. The performers are from Switzerland and they’re only coming here! So come here and see them!

We already saw the first performance in the series, The Frog Bride. We saw it live and we gave aways some dvds of it. Remember? It was so good, so we’re excited to see this one because it’s probably good too. I’ll let you know how it was when we get back, but I wanted to tell you about it early so you could get tickets if you want to. You can listen to Shelly Casto, the Wexner Center’s Director of Education, talk about it in a podcast here.

Or you can read a bit about it here:

In a hut in the middle of a forest sit three lonely Finns. They have seen wolf tracks in the snow outside, and they start telling each other stories about wolves. Some are funny, others are exciting, but as the night wears on, they get scarier and weirder and more and more outrageous!

Wolf Under the Bed will be at the Wexner Center on Januray 16 at 7pm and on January 17 at 1 and 3. Get tickets! If you’re a member, you can buy one ticket and get one free!
