The Heights Players Storybook Theater for Children presents Old McDonald Meets the Farmer in the Dell on Saturdays, April 17 and 24, at 12:00 p.m. The story, with music, tells us a little more about these two farmers.

Jack Jones, the Farmer in the Dell (Edmund McCarthy) is an actor from Brooklyn who has left the big city and decides to get back to the real world: the great outdoors and farming! The trouble is he knows very little about farming. And his hungry bull, Elmer (Steven Ackerman), can't live on skunk cabbage and ferns. Now Old McDonald (Ed Healy) has a big farm that is too much for him to tend alone. He also has a very hyper chick, Henny Penny (Gina Healy), a very lazy pig, Burly (Derrick Marshall), and a very smart cow, Elsie (Zoey Zucker) who rhymes all the time. She has a plan to get everyone together. And how to get the bull of her dreams.

The book and lyrics are written by director Bill Wood, with music by Jane Landis and Beverly Closs. Leo Contrino, Sr., will be in charge of sound and lights. Corinne Contrino will be at our box office. Additional set pieces will be made by the children from St. Ann's Day Care Center.
