| Things have gotten a little fishy around the Barrow-Civic Theatre of late. That's because the Franklin Civic Operetta Association's Youth Theatre has started performances of "The Rainbow Fish Musical." On Thursday, the cast, which ranges in age from 8 to 16, put on two school shows for their peers from across the region. The theatre was packed with elementary school students who giggled and clapped along with the story of a colorful fish who needs to learn about friendship. |  |
Between the two shows approximately 1,000 students attended Thursday's performances. Public performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets can be ordered online at barrowtheatre.org.
With shiny, multi-colored scales, Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in all of the ocean, and the only one of her kind. When Rainbow Fish refuses to share her vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature.
Unhappy that no one adores her anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus, who helps her learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful. The universal message at the heart of this delightful, bubbly musical becomes much more than just a simple children’s story
