"NATE THE GREAT"

THEATREWORKS USA PRESENTS:"NATE THE GREAT"Introducing the latest and greatest in the grand tradition of crime-solving detectives like Sherlock Holmes, Nero Wolfe and Charlie Chan... Nate! Nate the Great, that is. This pint-size young detective has found lost balloons, books, slippers, chickens and even a lost goldfish. But when his neighbor Annie asks for help in locating her missing painting, it takes all of Nate's derring-do to solve the toughest case of his career!Although Nate believes that great detectives work alone, he finds that unraveling mysteries is easier (and a lot more fun!) with a partner. And a big plate of pancakes.A new musical about teamwork and friendship (imaginary and otherwise), the stage adaptation is based on the first volume in Marjorie Weinman Sharmat's classic book series. The show is presented by the creative teams behind Theatreworks USA's productions of "The Mystery of King Tut" and "Junie B.
