The Adventures of Little Billy in Search of the Magic Tree

7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Memorial Oval & Park

Robert H. Harp Drive, Livingston, NJ

Students from Livingston High School’s Theatre Arts 1 program take center stage in a heartwarming and imaginative production of The Adventures of Little Billy: In Search of the Magic Tree. This special performance represents the culmination of a semester-long final project that brings together students from all grade levels and a wide range of abilities. Tasked with adapting the beloved children’s story into a short, touring theatrical production, students have collaborated on every aspect of the show—from storytelling and character development to staging and performance. More than just a play, Little Billy is designed with a meaningful mission: to inspire young audiences. Following its debut, the production is intended to tour local elementary schools, sharing powerful lessons about courage, kindness, perseverance, and self-discovery. Adding to the excitement of the evening, Little Billy—who serves as an ambassador to the Tamerlaine Sanctuary & Preserve—is represented through a special animal ambassador appearance from the sanctuary. This unique experience allows children and families to connect with animals while learning an important message about compassion, empathy, and caring for all living beings. Best-selling author Barry Farber brings his special edition hardcover children’s book and animated TV series, The Adventures of Little Billy: In Search of the Magic Tree, to an exciting step forward in a new stage adaptation, coming to life through the creativity and passion of Livingston High School’s student performers. Farber will be on hand to sign copies of the special edition hardcover copy of the book following the performance, and a portion of the proceeds from book sales benefit the Tamerlaine Animal Sanctuary & Preserve.
