'Happy Birthday, Moon'
Kids can enjoy a theater outing this weekend through Feb. 5 as Please Touch Museum's Playhouse Theater offers a new show, Happy Birthday, Moon, based on the book by Frank Asch.
The audience will learn about love and forgiveness as Bear goes out of his way to find out what the Moon wants for its birthday. The Moon and Bear share the same birthday and (spoiler alert!) are pleasantly surprised when they buy each other the same gift.
