Washington Crossing Open Air Theatre’s 2013 season is set to close with a Halloween inspired production of the musical Captain Louie.
Based on the book The Trip by Ezra Jack Keats, Captain Louie spins the tale of young Louie, the new kid in town who feels lonely and without friends in his new neighborhood. Looking for something to cheer himself up on Halloween night, Louie returns to his old neighborhood friends in an imaginary journey on the wings of his favorite toy, his beloved little red plane.
Music and lyrics are by Stephen Schwartz, known for Godspell, Pippin and Wicked.
