Pinkalicious The Musical
AVON PARK, Fla. – Aug. 15, 2025 – South Florida State College (SFSC) launches its Young People’s Theater series on Wednesday, Oct. 8 and Thursday, Oct. 9 at 9:30 a.m. with Pinkalicious the Musical, which is based on the beloved books by Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann. Featuring music and lyrics by John Gregor, this one-hour musical is ideal for pre-K to third grade students.
“It’s a delightful show that teaches students about self-control, the importance of moderation, and embracing your individuality,” said Cindy Garren, director of cultural programs at SFSC. “The show is playful, educational, and very pink!”
Air is Everywhere, featuring Mr. C Science, an action-packed, interactive show, is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 13 at 9:30 a.m. Students learn how air affects our world in ways they never imagined—from flight and pressure to weather and wind power. “Mr. C is real science,” Garren said. “It’s an ideal event to teach STEM concepts while having a lot of laughs!” This performance is geared for grades one to five.
Mr. C, or Kevin Cornell, has been recognized as the “New Bill Nye the Science Guy.” With 20 years of experience as an educator, he hosts and produces award-winning STEM programs in partnership with PBS stations. Cornell has earned gold, silver, and bronze Telly Award and multiple regional Emmy awards for LearningScienceisFun.com. His shows are high-energy and filled with hands-on demonstrations designed to spark curiosity and laughter.
The popular Holiday Traditions Around the World, featuring Santa Claus and his hard-working elves, will be at the Hardee County Agri-Civic Center in Wauchula on Monday, Dec. 1 at 9:30 a.m. Sponsored by Mosaic, this performance is targeted for Hardee and DeSoto County elementary
The Emperor’s New Clothes
school students. “Transportation is an issue for our school districts and the Civic Center has a nice stage and auditorium, so we hope to fill all the seats,” Garren said.
The Emperor’s New Clothes, based on the much-loved tale by Hans Christian Andersen, is scheduled for Thursday, March 12 at 9:30 a.m. Geared for students in third to fifth grade, this musical, produced by Stages Productions, features a bumbling emperor and his court who learned the cost of deceit by crafty swindlers. “Andersen based his fairytale on a 14th century folktale, but he added the innocent child who speaks the truth,” Garren said. “This tale has been teaching children about vanity and pride for hundreds of years.”
Tickets for the performances are $5 per person and one free ticket is available for every 10 purchased. Bookings for homeschool groups, private schools, and public schools are available now by emailing ypt@southflorida.edu or calling the SFSC Box Office at 863-784-7178. Free study guides for each performance are available online at sfscARTS.org.
SFSC kicked off the Young People’s Theater Series in 2006 and over 100,000 students from Highlands, Hardee, and DeSoto counties have attended a performance.
