The Bienville Parish Library will present a special theatrical event from the Stage Center’s School of Performing Arts in Shreveport at the Arcadia Events Center on Friday, March 25, 2022 beginning at 10:00 a.m.

The troupe will perform “The Cat in the Hat” play beginning at 10:00am and will last approximately 30 minutes. This years’ performance is especially exciting because the performers are all school age actors from the Stage Center’s School of Performing Arts. Ages range from middle school to high school. Young audiences with an interest in stage performing can get an up-close view of what is required to be a part of a theatrical group.

Bienville Parish school children, Pre-K through 3rd grade will be entertained with the antics of the Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 and Thing 2 and the ever-cautious and concerned goldfish! Private school children and Homeschool children are welcome to attend as well. Parents, grandparents, and chaperones must stay with their charges at all times and will need to observe their school health protocols.

Bienville Parish Library Celebrates Dr. Seuss All Month!

Each March the Bienville Parish Library system celebrates Dr. Seuss’ Birthday week and extends the celebration all month long with a variety of activities that coincides with the National Education Associations “Read Across America Day”. Established in 1998 to motivate “children and teens to read through events, community partnerships and reading resources that highlight the important partnerships between public libraries, schools, teachers, parents, grandparents, and community leaders. By working together, we emphasize to our youth, the importance of reading, expressing our opinions in an open and cooperative environment, and learning and exploring the world we live in.

National Read Across America Day is observed on March 2nd, the birthday of beloved children’s book author Dr. Seuss. Theodor Seuss “Ted” Geisel was an American children’s author, political cartoonist, illustrator, poet, animator, screenwriter, and filmmaker. He was born on March 2nd 1904 and is known for his work writing and illustrating more than 60 books under the pen name Dr. Seuss. Through his stories children of all ages learn respect for the environment, feeling empathy for others, listening and learning about how we are different and how we are the same.

For more information about this event, contact your school regarding parental/guardian permission forms and transportation arrangements to and from the event.
