Mr. Popper’s Penguins On Stage at Main Street Theater

They sing! They dance! They are Mr. Popper's Penguins!! Main Street Theater (MST) presents the delightful musical Mr. Popper's Penguins, based on the beloved novel by Richard and Florence Atwater.

It is hard enough for Mr. Popper, a simple painter, to support himself and his family. The addition of twelve penguins makes it impossible to make both ends meet... until Mr. Popper has the splendid idea to turn the talented penguins into a traveling vaudeville act! The entire family will be tapping along with Mr. Popper and his "performing" feathered friends. A holiday treat for the whole family!

This simple, interactive feature immediately sets the tone for your visit: engaging, whimsical and full of giggles. I had a wonderful first visit to The Doseum - learning, creating and exploring - and want to share my favorite experiences!
