The Snowy Day and Other Stories by Ezra Jack Keats


  • Oklahoma Children's Theatre 2501 North Blackwelder Avenue Oklahoma City, OK, 73106 United States (map)

I have the honor of playing the role of “Mom” in this production as well as being the Music Director in my second production with the Oklahoma Children’s Theatre. This will be performed at the OCT Children’s Center for the Arts, at Oklahoma City University. Click the link for showtimes.

Join Peter and his family and friends as they celebrate the magic of fresh snowfall, the delight of whistling for the first time, and the awe of finding a special treasure. This uplifting musical play is all about childhood joys and living each day to the fullest.

Produced by special arrangement with Plays for Young Audiences

Based on four of Ezra Jack Keats' books:

"The Snowy Day"

"Whistle for Willie"

Ezra Jack Keats (1916–1983) was a pioneering American author-illustrator. In The Snowy Day and 20 other books, including Goggles!, Pet Show!, and Hi, Cat!, he opened up the world of children’s books to include racially diverse characters who share the joys and problems of childhood.
