LILLY THEATER Nearly 50,000 visitors enjoyed performances in Lilly Theater in 2006. The productions staged during the year told new and familiar stories — all used live theater to reinforce the importance of true friendship and happiness. WHY MOSQUITOES BUZZ This African folktale told the story of a mosquito who buzzed in an iguana’s ear, keeping the sun from coming up. Audiences learned that sometimes the littlest things can have consequences that cannot be predicted. STUART LITTLE The adventures of this extraordinary mouse came to life in Lilly Theater in time to play to large, spring break audiences. As Stuart grew up with his human family, he faced the challenges of being small in a very big world. One adventure after another led him to find his true friend. ALADDIN Visitors during the summer took an adventure with Aladdin as he discovered the wonder of magic with the genie and the princess. Over 17,000 visitors watched as Aladdin outsmarted the evil magician on his journey to find the true meaning of happiness. THE SELFISH GIANT Holiday audiences were introduced to a giant whose cold and selfish heart caused Spring to abandon his beautiful garden. In this production, three young children brought Spring back to the garden and happiness to the giant’s heart. ▼ ▼ During the holidays, the Selfish Giant — and Lilly Theater audiences — learned the true meaning of happiness. The classic story of Aladdin came to life at Lilly Theater last summer. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 THE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM OF INDIANAPOLIS 17
