"I'm Not Comin Out of My Shell!"

When I was a little kid, it was kind of a bummer because (as far as I can remember) I never got to go see Playtime Poppy. I do remember once, however, being an Oompa-Loompa in Kennedy's Playtime Poppy production when I was in 3rd grade, but other than that I never got to.

This year, we decided to do "A Year With Frog and Toad." I thought it was a great selection for little kids, because I remember reading those books when I was growing up and I'm sure they're still aroung now. I didn't have any high expectations for this show, simply because it is a Playtime Poppy show and they are never that great, but they do entertain the young children. Let's face it, I thought this show was going to be Playtime Poopy, rather than Playtime Poppy. I was proven wrong, though. The singing may have not been superb, and the acting may not have been mind blowing, but it was a lot of fun. I think all the actors will agree that when they stepped on stage they could feel the excitement of the kids and you knew they wanted to watch the show.

One of the coolest feelings in the world is when you are done with the show and signing autographs and talking to the kids. It is the coolest feeling when you ask who their favorite character was and they reply, "YOU!" I found it really funny though when they switched characters everytime they got asked. I took that to mean they liked them all!

Overall, the Playtime Poppy experience was fun and turned out to be well worth the time. The little kids were funny and though the costumes were less that appealing to me, it was still fun.

Will you have a Gaytime with Playtime Poppy?
