Henry and Mudge

Location: Prince George’s Publick Playhouse

Description: Moving from the city to a new house in the country can be tough. Just ask Henry, who can’t find a playmate in his new neighborhood. Luckily, he’s got Mudge, a great big, 182-pound canine buddy, with whom he can share all kinds of adventures. Henry teaches his new friend to sit, heel, and shake his hand, but rolling over is one trick Henry just can’t seem to teach Mudge, no matter how hard he tries. When Henry’s cousin Annie comes for a visit, Mudge is so charmed by her that he finally rolls over at her command! Henry thinks Mudge must love Annie more than him. Very upset, Henry runs away into the cold dark woods to find adventures on his own. Mudge follow’s the boy’s scent into the forest — he really does love Henry and doesn’t want to be without him. Will the two friends be reunited? Find out in this delightful musical, based on the best-selling series of books by Cynthia Rylant.

Recommended for grades Pre-K – 3. Curriculum Connections: Communication and Language Arts, Literature-Based, Music, Relationships & Family.
