Alexander is having a bad day. A terrible day. A horrible day. To be quite honest, it’s a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Not only does Alexander wake up with gum in his hair, but his mother forgets to pack him dessert, his brothers don’t have cavities, but he does. And just when it can’t get any worse, there are lima beans for supper. YUCK! But then, everybody has bad days sometimes. Alexander’s struggles with life’s daily dramas will not only entertain, but educate young audiences as they identify with Alexander and the obstacles he encounters, encouraging them to share their feelings and to realize that bad days happen…even in Australia.
Show was commissioned and premiered by the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.
