Skippyjon Jones is a Siamese cat who believes he’s a Mexican chihuahua and whose imagination often takes him on wild adventures as his alter ego Skippito Friskito. The performance put on by a cast from Theatreworks USA will spin the most recent tale, Skippyjon Jones Snow What, into live action on stage in the Lauridsen Performing Arts Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 27, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 and the show is geared for children ages four and up. “I, myself, love Skippyjon Jones and was first introduced to the books in a high school Spanish class,” performing arts director Amanda Schindler said. “This play is a twist on the Snow White story and should be super fun as Skippyjon uses his imagination to become his alter ego rescues princesses and defeats dragons.” The production is based on the lastest in Judy Schachner’s Skippyjon Jones children’s book series, but is not the only one to have been transformed into children’s musical theatre. Director Kevin Del Aguila wrote a musical adaptation for the original SkippyJon Jones book four years ago. The Emmy-winning writer has nearly done it all with Theatreworks USA having acted, directed and written for the company. “It was such fun and a success that we decided we should do a sequel and the writer actually sent us an advance copy of Snow What,” Del Aguila said. “This one turned out to be more action-packed and is very family friendly. In fact one of the most pleasant surprises is seeing parents and adults enjoy the show right alongside their kids.” For Schindler having children’s theatre at the art center is a great way to help foster an appreciation for all forms of art at an early age. That’s also part of the reason she’ll be trying to bring two children’s shows to the PLAC each year, one in spring and one in the fall. “It’s important for kids to be exposed to all forms of art and putting on children’s theatre is one way for them to get interested in the arts in some way,” Schindler said. “With Skippyjon Jones in particular there is always a lesson pertaining to sharing, cooperation or something along those lines, which is always a good thing. With this show it’s also a great way to learn a few small words in another language.” In Skippyjon Jones, with his alter ego Skippito Friskito who must save the princess Nieve Que along with his trusted Seven Chimichangos, that other language is Spanish. “The play is a lot of fun like the books with very wacky, fun word play with some Hispanic mix to it, a sort of Spanglish vocabulary,” Del Aguila said. “The music also has a lot of Spanish flair to it.” The troupe set out on the road in January and will tour all around the country until sometime in May or June. At each stop the children and adults in the audience get to see the familiar characters of Skippyjon Jones come to life right in front of them on stage. Join in on the fun as Skippyjon Jones and his wild imagination set up a fantastic show for everyone involved. F Okoboji | Iowa
