This Jane Franklin Dance family friendly performance, Mouse in House is a lively movement and theatre presentation for the young and young-at-heart.
The performance incorporates spoken word, movement, music, and an interactive participatory introduction for young children.
Adapted from the book “The Mouse of Amherst” by Elizabeth Spires, Mouse in House reveals an unlikely friendship between a lively mouse and reclusive 19th-century poet Emily Dickinson. The mouse’s life changes forever when a gust of wind blows one of Emily’s poems her way. Moved by Emily’s evocative words that capture her own feelings, the mouse becomes determined to be a poet herself.
