Children's Books Come to Life at Music Pier

The Greater Ocean City Theatre Company (OCTC) will once again present a series of family-friendly theatrical productions this summer season. OCTC has assembled talented casts to bring to life a wide range of stories at the Ocean City Music Pier. Audiences will be transported to a world of imagination, creativity, and educational fun. On July 19 at 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., the Music Pier will be rocking Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Rock Experience. It is a rock 'n' roll parable with a significant message for today's audiences, based on the hit children's book by Mo Willems. Wilbur and all his fellow naked mole rats in the Tunnel have always been, well, naked. Wondering what other possibilities are out there, Wilbur discovers a love for clothing and style. When word of his new passion turns the Tunnel upside down, he proves to everyone that there's no need to be just like everyone else. On July 26 at 10:30 a.m., audiences will enter the jury box and decide the fate of Big n Bad in a musical adaptation of the hit children’s book, The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. The Children’s Theatre Series will conclude on August 2 at 10:30 a.m. with a heroic production of Super Sidekick the Musical. All tickets are $10 in advance and $12 on show days.
