Traveling Lantern and the
Collaborative Library Summer Reading Program Theme:

In 2005, Traveling Lantern kicked off a new Summer Season, bringing The Sword in the Stone to libraries across the country to complement the CLSRP theme: Dragons, Dreams and Daring Deeds! For the summer ’06 theme, Paws, Claws, Scales and Tales!
we presented The Hobbit. For the summer ‘07 mystery theme Get a Clue @ your library! we presented Sherlock Holmes Takes the Case. For the '08 bugs, gardens and food theme Catch the Reading Bug, Traveling Lantern presented The Caterpillar Hunter.

And we will be returning again this summer with another CLSRP themed show!


For the 2009 music and arts theme, Be Creative @ Your Library, Traveling Lantern presents The Life of Beethoven.

One of the greatest composers of all time, Ludwig Von Beethoven wrote his greatest masterpiece, the 9th Symphony, while he was profoundly deaf. This fast paced, inspiring, and facile play is accompanied by Beethoven's powerful music. Factual and compelling, Beethoven's story is moving and unforgettable. Performed in the same style as The Life of Mozart, this play is especially designed for the K-6 age group.

Call us to book in your summer show for 2009.

“...professional, prompt, great with
the kids and adults and very, very reasonable.
I highly recommend them to you.”
