(Please note special curtain time.) Cal Poly Arts presents the original musical as part of their popular, low-cost Family Series. "Franklin's Class Concert" is produced by Tanglewood Productions, who helped bring the successful "Little Bear Live on Stage" show to San Luis Obispo family audiences during the Cal Poly Arts 2001/02 season. The show features Franklin and pals Fox, Beaver, Bear, and Snail in a lively show filled with non-stop singing, dancing and audience participation. In the story, it's time for the annual class concert. Everyone will perform a special number, but Franklin fears that he has no talent. Just when he thought things couldn't get worse, the concert happens earlier than expected. What will happen when Beaver suffers from stage fright, Snail can't hit the high note, and Fox is unable to make someone reappear after they disappear in his magic act? Audiences of all ages will enjoy finding out. Since the first book, "Franklin in the Dark," was published in 1986, the character of Franklin has gained worldwide fame.

  • An Interview with Paulette Bourgeois
    An interview with Paulette Bourgeois Catherine Sheldrick Ross This interview took place while Paulette Bourgeois was in London, Ontar- io, on a reading tour funded by the Canada Council. On Tuesday evening, January 19,1988, the author spoke to the newly formed London Children's Literature Roundtable. A highlight was her reading of a new story, "The old lady with no teeth," in which a young boy disobeys an injunction against going down to the basement (The old lady says, "I wouldn't go down there if I was you. There's a bear down there"). Like Bluebeard's wife, the boy finds out something he'd rather not know. During the inter- view which took place the next day, we talked about this story and what it represents for Paulette Bourgeois's own development as a writer. But we also ranged over a wide number of other topics related to the making of a children's author in Canada: the outstandingly positive critical reception of her first picture boolr (Quill & Quire called Franklin "possibly the season's most endearing picture book character" - Aug. '86); the contri- butions to the final form of picture book made by the editors and the illustrator; the challenge of doing sequels; international markets; journal- ism as a training ground for doing children's nonfiction; and Paulette Bourgeois' own favorite children's books. ROSS: You had the sort of experience with Franklin in the dark the first- time writers would give their eye-teeth for. Just everything worked. Was it as easy as it looked from the outside? BOURGEOIS: Well, no.
