“Near, far, in our motorcar, oh what a happy time we’ll spend!”
The USCB Center for the Arts presents the The Beaufort Children’s Theatre’s production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang JR. on Friday, May 17 and Saturday, May 18 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 19 at 3 p.m.
And to those who can’t attend we say, “Oh, poppycock.”
Ian Fleming’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang JR. features a book by Jeremy Sams and music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman (Mary Poppins), which includes the Academy Award-nominated title song featured in the 1968 movie produced by Albert R. Broccoli. The story follows an eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts, and his children, Jeremy and Jemima, who discover an old race car that has magical properties.
Join the fun as more than 70 aspiring young actors from the Beaufort County area perform this
60-minute production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang JR. Suitable and enjoyable for all ages.
