"Five Little Pumpkins" is on stage every Sunday at Noon September 30 through October 28. Based on the nursery rhyme, the new show was conceived and written by Roger Ricker with music and lyrics by Ben Kapilow. GET TICKETS
"It started with the little rhyme known by many pre-school, kindergarten, and elementary students," Ricker said. "We added much more to it, however. So it's all about the Five Pumpkins who are on the gate...but why are they there? How did they get there? We also added characters who do not exist in the poem. That's the fun of the show."
In "Five Little Pumpkins: The Musical" Private Detective Investigator Marshall Law The Third looks into the situation, only to find that Winona Witch had a lot to do with it. There are also Henry and Harriet, two of the Neighborhood Children, who are heavily involved.
"You may wonder how a show can be exciting with five pumpkins sitting on a gate," Ricker stated. "What we do in the concept is have each pumpkin get off of the gate as they tell their side of the story, which allows the show to breathe. Each pumpkin has a solo, and there is also a lot of interaction between the Private Detective, the Witch, and the Neighborhood Children. There are also times when the audience is involved to assist in finding out the truth of the situation."
Ben Kapilow, the Media Theatre's Resident Music Director, wrote the music and lyrics. Song titles include "Trick Or Treat", "Witches In The Air", "Why We Did It", and "I Wanna Run".
The show also has life lessons about being yourself, being honest, and being kind.
"Five Little Pumpkins" features a Costume Pageant at the end of each show. "It's actually built into the story," Ricker said. "Children in the audience are asked to come to the show in their favorite Halloween costume. During the final scene of the show we'll have them come up on stage, and every child will leave with a treat to start their Halloween fun."

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC(www.ultimatelifeclinic. com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
