Kids and their favorite adult can listen to a lively reading of M.T. Anderson's fascinating tale The Serpent Came to Gloucester , based on the true story of a sea serpent's arrival in Gloucester Harbor during the early 19th Century. Kids will then use their imagination to create their own sea monster sand painting.

The story concerns madcap antics aboard an ocean liner bound from New York to London. Billy Crocker is a stowaway in love with heiress Hope Harcourt, who is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Nightclub singer Reno Sweeney and Public Enemy #13 Moonface Martin aid Billy in his quest to win Hope. The cast of the Sparhawk Spotlights includes stowaways, gangsters, nuns and mols make this transatlantic crossing a hilarious romp from sin to redemption. Be sure to come aboard before this musical production of Anything Goes says Bon Voyage!
