Three Openings

Summer Theatre of New Canaan

STONC continues its season of Theatre for Young Audiences with a frothy production of "Pickalicious The Musical" under its tent at Waveny Park.

Based on the popular book by Elizabeth and Victoria Kann, "Pinkalicious" is about learning the power of self-control and the importance of moderation, as framed by the story of Pinkalicious, who is obsessed with pink cupcakes. After eating one too many, she turns pink from head to toe. What's a pink girl to do?

The show premieres July 4 and will run on weekends through August 5. For tickets or more information call 203-966-4634 or go to www.stonc.org

It's the story of size-challenged Tracy Turnblad, who has one great desire, to dance on the Corny Collins Show. She gets her wish, but along the way must deal with a Teen Queen, win the heart of heart-throb Link Larkin and integrate a TV station.
