Dunwoody Jewish Center Presents Family Musical

Dunwoody’s Marcus Jewish Community Center invites audiences to enjoy six performances of a musical rendition of the best-selling children’s book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

The namesake character wakes up with gum in his hair, trips on a skateboard, and then accidentally drops his sweater in the sink – all before breakfast. It’s the beginning of his very bad day.

Performed in a single act, families can laugh with lyrics written by Alexander’s original author, Judith Viorst, and sing along to music composed by Shelly Markham.

Suzi Bass Award nominee and Atlanta Theatre Fan award winner for Best Actor in a Musical Justin Thomson will play the lead role of Alexander. The production’s supporting actors are Tyler Sarkis cast as Anthony, Paul Gourdeau as Dad, Ty Autry as Paul, Bekah Medford as Audrey, Carys Jeffrey as Nicki and Deanna Bustillos as Mom.

Held at the Morris & Rae Frank Theatre at 5342 Tilly Mill Road in Dunwoody, the musical is appropriate for children aged 4 to 10.

Performances of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day are:

• Thursday, Dec. 4 at 10:30 a.m.
• Sunday, Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
• Thursday, Dec. 11 at 10:30 a.m.
