Canton Resident is Director for Freckleface Strawberry

Canton resident Danielle Clougher is musical director of Riverside Theatre Works’ “Freckleface Strawberry,” a charming, kid-friendly show about the joys of being yourself.

Based on the children’s book by actress Julianne Moore, the show tells the story of a redheaded girl who will do anything to get rid of her freckles. With the help of a ballerina, an athlete, a ditzy pal, a kooky teacher, and a loving mom, she discovers that everyone is sometimes insecure – and that our differences make us special.

Performances are February 28 and March 7 at 7 p.m., March 1 and 8 at 2 p.m., and special school day shows March 3 and 5 at 10:30 a.m. Tickets for weekend performances cost $10 for kids and $15 for adults, and are available at www.rtwboston.org or by calling 1-866-811-4111.

School-day matinee tickets are $5 apiece; to schedule a group visit, contact Riverside Theatre Works at 617-361-7024.

Clougher, who holds a degree in music industry from Northeastern University, works as a musical director at many local schools and community theaters. Her credits include “Man of La Mancha,” “25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” “[title of show],” and last spring’s production of “Cabaret” at Riverside Theatre Works.
