All eight scheduled performances sold out before opening night, so GREAT has added an additional performance this Sunday at 4:00 p.m. to meet community demand. All tickets are $16 and available at greattheatre.org.

Six student matinees sold out in addition to the public performances. The 55-minute musical is based on Mo Willems's beloved book series.
