CLEMSON — The Brooks Center for the Performing Arts at Clemson University opens its Family Series with “The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley” at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26.

“Based on the popular children’s books series by author Jeff Brown, the musical brings Flat Stanley to a new generation of families through song, dance and the spectacle of live theater,” said Brooks Center director Lillian Harder.
In the musical, ordinary kid Stanley Lambchop is asleep in his bed one night when a bulletin board falls on him. The next morning he wakes up flat.

At first, being flat is not so bad. He can slide under locked doors. His friends fly him like a kite. Stanley is the best in his class at hide-and-seek. If he has to be flat, he is going to make the best of it.
Stanley decides to put himself in a big envelope and travel the world as a human letter. The musical follows his adventures as he strives to become three-dimensional again.

IntraMusical Theatricals is a leading producer of family entertainment whose critically acclaimed productions visit major performing arts centers across North America each year.
