The Musical. is even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party.<\/p>\n “We knew that this would be the perfect show to launch the season because it’s such a classic example of what makes the Mainstage great,” said Artistic Director Jerry Stevenson. “Kids get to see their favorite characters from story time jump to life on stage, while getting something fresh and new too.”<\/p>\n The plot of this production is one familiar to many families across the Midlands. It’s not easy being the Pigeon-you never get to do ANYTHING. But when the Bus Driver has a crisis that threatens to make her passengers (gasp.) late, maybe that wily bird can do something.<\/p>\n “It’s difficult to overstate just how much fun we’ve had rehearsing this show,” said Mainstage performer Paul Lindley. “Everything Mo Willems writes is just so light-hearted and fun. I have a feeling parents will end up enjoying this show as much as their kids.”<\/p>\n Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus: The Musical is a CCT Mainstage production featuring a cast of professional actors. Since its first show in 2005, the CCT Mainstage has performed for thousands of families across the Midlands<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Columbia Children’s Theatre will present Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus: The Musical September 17.
