The Heights Players is proud to present another season of Storybook Theater for Children. Our next production will be There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe (Part II): Celebrations, presented Saturdays in December.

For reservations, call 718 855-9699 (beginning December 1).


In keeping with the spirit of the holidays and celebrations of all kinds, producer Bill Wood has gotten together with cast, crew and friends in an adaptation of this classic nursery rhyme; its theme is one of working and celebrating together.

Together with Jane Landis and Beverly Closs (music) and Bob Fucaloro (conductor), the cast includes some familiar faces and some new to Storybook Theater. Melanie Benger will reprise her role as the Little Old Woman; Steve Ackerman will appear as Humpty Dumpty; Maureen Vidal (the Queen); Zoey Zucker (the maid); Leo Contrino (Jack Be Nimble); and SIDETRACK, consisting of Lonique, Vaugn and Wayne (the Three Blind Mice). Andrea Bernardo (from The Three Little Pigs) will be playing Miss Muffet and newcomers to Storybook Theater (Lindsey Hockler, Marcello Ritondo and Joley Contrino) will be taking on the roles of Little Bo Peep, Little Boy Blue and the Spider. Billy's support crew, as always, includes Danny Cardona, Jill Lewis-Kelly, Gina Healy, Jan VanderPutten, Gerry Newman and Leo and Corrine Contrino.

Come celebrate with us! Dates are Saturdays, December 13 and 20 at 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Reservations (718 855-9699) will be accepted beginning December 1st.
