MISS MOORE THOUGHT OTHERWISE

Golden Toad Theatre presents MISS MOORE THOUGHT OTHERWISE, a new interactive musical for kids age 3-8 (but all ages welcome). Come and meet Anne Carroll Moore, the trailblazing librarian born in 1871 who pioneered the creation of the children's library. Miss Moore and her puppet Nicholas Knickerbocker tell about the time when children were banned from libraries and how she imagined and built a space filled with music, stories and art, welcoming children into a special library room created just for them. Join Miss Moore and Nicholas for a thrilling experience full of puppetry, songs and your own ideas. You'll never look at your library in the same way again!

Running time: 35 min
For children ages 8 and under, but all ages welcome

We're taking bookings for Autumn 2024!

Miss Moore Thought Otherwise is now booking from Autumn 2024 onwards
​The production is specifically designed to play in library spaces, including school libraries.
