The Omaha Theater Company presents "Three Classics by Mercer Mayer" as part of the Martha-Ellen Tye Performing Arts Institute Youth Matinee Series. Join the fun with: There's an Alligator Under My Bed, There's Something in My Attic and There's a Nightmare in My Closet.

How does the little boy get over that big alligator that lives under his bed? Or another child command his toy soldiers to protect him from the Big Nightmare that lives in his closet - or is it the Big Nightmare that needs to be protected? And, what about the little girl who lassoes the Silly Scary Thing that lives in her farmhouse attic? What would you do?

Three Mercer Mayer classics will be presented including: There's an Alligator Under My Bed, There's Something in My Attic and There's a Nightmare in My Closet.

The design of this original musical production features vivid and imaginative costumes and scenery. With music and lyrics by Stuart Kenny, James Larson's adaptation creates a place where the alligator under your bed, the nightmare in your closet and the thing in you attic can become a child's best friend.

Recommended for grades PreK-4.
