Kids in the Rotunda

Ken Lonnquist

Saturday, November 22

9:30am, 11am & 1pm

Rotunda Stage

Free

Age Recommendation

All Ages

Runtime

45 minutes

Enjoy a delightful performance by Ken Lonnquist, who writes and sings humorous, literate and thoughtful songs about nature, the environment and current issues. His November shows will surely include songs about cold weather... "Snowflakes" and "A Cold For Sale" come to mind. And how could we not sing "Turkey Day" together, just days before Thanksgiving?! Requests from parents and grandparents are likely to include "One Speed Bike," "Nattie Of The Jungle" and "Jaws Of A Crocodile," and there'll be plenty of brand-new songs from KENLAND, as usual!

The 1pm performance will be American Sign Language interpreted. Please email kidsintherotunda@overture.org at least one hour ahead to be seated within sight of the interpreter for live performances.
