At this time of the year, saying Freddie is in the neighbourhood might evoke visions of Freddie Krueger from the horror flick Nightmare on Elm Street.
But, in this case, it’s a blue dog.
Freddie in the Neighbourhood is the first show this season in the Evergreen Cultural Centre family series, running as school matinees this week at the Coquitlam facility and on Friday night for a public performance.
Produced by the Little Onion Puppet Company, it’s about a blue dog named Freddie who is afraid to go outside. It won two Jessie Awards earlier this year including outstanding production in the theatre for young audiences category.
In the play Freddie finds himself lost in a forest near his house but he learns the skills he needs to overcome shyness and finds out his neighbourhood is a nice place and he discovers new friends. The show was created with the help of Grade 3 students.
It’s ‘pay-what-you-can’ admission for the family series but the suggested price per person is $10.
For tickets to the Friday show at 7 p.m., call the box office at 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.
