Koba Entertainment recently
announced its newest theatrical production
Mike the Knight™ in the
Great Scavenger Hunt will bring a thrilling mix of adventure, comedy,
music, song, puppets, dance – plus a little bit of magic – to Windsor at the
Chrysler Theatre on March 12.
Based on the
popular CG-animated series from HIT Entertainment and Nelvana,
Mike the
Knight in the Great Scavenger Hunt takes audiences on an interactive and
eye-opening adventure for the whole family complete with an enchanting world of
medieval castles, plucky trolls and flying dragons. Tickets are
on sale now and are available through the Chrysler Theatre box
office, online at
Chryslertheatre.com
or by phone at 1-800-387-9181.
Mike the Knight in the Great Scavenger Hunt unfolds during the
Glendragon Scavenger Hunt, where the young knight is determined to discover the
most knightly way to tackle his chivalrous quest. Joined by his closest friends
Sparkie and Squirt (a pair of quirky dragons), his valiant friend Trollee and
his wizard-in-training sister Evie, the stakes are high as the cheerful yet
bountiful Mike the Knight leads audiences on his bravest mission yet.
“I am excited to forage with Mike the Knight on this medieval scavenger
hunt,” says award-winning choreographer and director, Patti Caplette. “And
while chivalry and wizardry reign in Mike’s world of castles and kings, I want
to convey that kids are kids, and Mike and his friends may have to be reminded
to ‘Be a knight and do it right!’"
The live show is based on the animated series broadcast in more than 120
territories. In each episode of the animated series, preschoolers follow Mike
the Knight on a mission to protect his kingdom and become a fully-fledged
knight. Mike discovers the power of responsibility and doing tasks and
activities the right way. Along the way, he reminds viewers of his motto:
"
Be a knight, do it right!" The live show encourages
independence, self-confidence and problem solving while inspiring kids to
engage imaginations with dress-up and pretend
play.
