Down on the Farm
Jan. 24: Click, Clack, Moo Farmer Brown is very excited: His granddaughter Jenny is coming for a visit. But when she arrives, he is dismayed to see how attached she is to her electronics — so he confiscates her laptop and hides it in the barn. There’s only one problem: The cows know how to type and they send farmer Brown emails! Next the chickens go on strike, and soon the whole farm is in an uproar. Recommended ages 4 and up. 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. $15. The Emelin Theatre. 153 Library Ln., Mamaroneck. 914-698-0098; www.emelin.org
