Served with Honey Thai Almonds, Chinese Garlic & Ginger Wontons and Honey Sesame dressing (or guest’s choice of dressing). The salad has 330 calories and 13 grams of fat.

Chick-fil-A Grilled Market Salad: Grilled and sliced chicken breast served on a fresh bed of chopped romaine lettuce and baby greens, topped with shredded red cabbage and carrots, crumbled blue cheese and a mix of red and green apples, strawberries and blueberries. Served with Harvest Nut Granola, Roasted Nut Blend and Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette (or guest’s choice of dressing).

THE WAY, WAY BACK is the funny and poignant coming of age story of 14-year-old Duncan’s (Liam James) summer vacation with his mother, Pam (Toni Collette), her overbearing boyfriend, Trent (Steve Carell), and his daughter, Steph (Zoe Levin). Having a rough time fitting in, the introverted Duncan finds an unexpected friend in gregarious Owen (Sam Rockwell), manager of the Water Wizz water park. Through his funny, clandestine friendship with Owen, Duncan slowly opens up and begins to finally find his place in the world – all during a summer he will never forget.

If you’ve never seen a show at the Dallas Children’s Theater, you’re missing out! I saw King Arthur at the DCT last year and my kids and I LOVED it!

Boats, brought to you by Australia’s Terrapin Puppet Theatre,opens this Friday, April 19th and runs through April 21st, 2013 at the Dallas Children’s Theater. BOATS won the 2012 Helpmann Award for the Best Presentation for Children – the highest honor that a theater for young people can gain in Australia.

Here’s a brief synopsis of the show:

BOATS is a play about the life of a sailor called Jof Argos.  Jof’s story is told to us by his friend, and fellow seaman, Nic.  Together they recount Jof’s life from birth up until his final moments.  We learn how the friends met as they were each running away from something and then found that the sea answered their calls.  BOATS is full of clever storytelling techniques that span from the traditional to the highly inventive; puppets are tied from ropes, a boat is made from a table and many of the sound effects are made live. This follows a very Australian tradition of telling tall tales with found objects, and embellishing them for the sake of the story.  While the play is a wild ride following the ups and downs of two great characters, it is what Nic and Jof learn from each other, the sea and the retelling of these stories that leaves a lasting impression.

OPENING NIGHT PARTY
Attend the show on Friday, April 19th for extra fun one hour prior to the show and after.
Experience the power of stories and make a BOATS – inspired origami craft with instructors from Bishop Arts’ Oil and Cotton!  Enjoy coloring, face painting and more.   Giveaways and one free show poster per family.
