Watty Piper’s The Little Engine That Could is a time-honored classic and one of the greatest tales of motivation ever told.  In this well-loved classic featuring songs, dance and dazzling costumes, the Little Engine overcomes seemingly impossible odds to carry a train full of toys over an imposing mountain.  The Little Engine That Could is an entertaining and inspirational favorite that offers a valuable lesson for children and adults alike about the power of optimism.

This colorful and heartwarming play comes to the stage with sassy, colorful life-sized toys of a bygone time.  It features several large engines—one too proud, one too powerful and one too old.  Each are asked to pull a heavy train over the mountain, but all refuse.  The Little Engine is the only one that agrees to try and will succeed with the help of an interactive audience! And now, for the first time, all can see this story on stage, with life-sized toys and train engines, and lots of song and dance.
