Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood coming to BPAC

The legacy of the beloved “Mister Rogers” lives on with the hit television series, “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood,” from The Fred Rogers Company and airing daily on PBS KIDS.

Now, Daniel and all of his friends are hopping aboard Trolley to delight live audiences with “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Live!” coming to the Bologna Performing Arts Center Jan. 24 at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are on sale now and available at www.bolognapac.com, by phone at 662-846-4626, or at the BPAC Ticket Office. The office is open Monday-Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Children must be at least one to attend the performance, and every person must have their own ticket.

Donning his iconic red sweater, Daniel invites the audience on an interactive musical adventure as he and his friends explore the vibrant world of their much-loved Neighborhood of Make-Believe, sharing stories of friendship, helping others, and celebrating new experiences. This live theatrical production filled with singing, dancing, laughter and “grr-ific” surprises will warm the hearts of multiple generations.

Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood tells its engaging stories about the life of a preschooler using musical strategies grounded in Fred Rogers’ landmark social-emotional curriculum. Through imagination, creativity and music, Daniel and his friends learn the key social skills necessary for school and for life.

The animated TV series has garnered a host of prestigious awards, and most recently was nominated for a 2015 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Preschool Animated Program. This recognition follows a string of additional honors, including a 2015 Parents’ Choice Gold Award and 2014 Prix Jeunesse International Selection, as well as the 2013 Kidscreen Award for Best Animated Series in the Preschool Category, and 2013 Cynopsis: Kids!
