Teddy and the Treasure


As I drove past the Keith Albee Performing Arts Center this morning I saw police officers getting ready to block Fourth Avenue - and that reminded me that there was a school show this morning of the latest touring show from the Marshall Artists Series.

But don't worry, you haven't missed anything - tonight the public can catch the new musical, Teddy Roosevelt and the Treasure of Ursa Major. Inspired by President Roosevelt and his family, the play is set in the summer of 1904, when Teddy gives his children Ethel, Kermit and Archie a copy of Treasure Island to read. When a real-life treasure map falls out, a full-blown mystery tour of the White House ensues.

Developed by The Kennedy Center in association with the White House Historical Association, the original new one-hour, family-friendly musical takes the stage at 7:00 p.m. tonight. Tickets are $25, and youth tickets (17 and under) are $15.
