SESAME PLACE TO OPEN 
COOKIE’S MONSTER LAND IN MAY 2014

BIG NEWS was just annouced by our friends at Sesame Place! The theme park has made so many additions and chances since it first opened years ago. I love the thought of the latest plans that are in the plans! The “Furry” Land Will Feature New Attractions including: 5 Rides,
a 3‐Story Net Climb and Soft Play Area Sesame Place, the nation’s only theme park based entirely on the award‐winning show Sesame Street, will open Cookie’s Monster Land , in May 2014. Cookie Monster will serve as host to all of his monster friends in this colorful and imaginative new land featuring five exciting rides, a three‐story net climb and a soft play area for the park’s youngest visitors. Following in the footsteps of the neighboring Elmo’s World area, everyone’s favorite Sesame Street monsters will come together in a fun‐filled land with attractions and play areas families can enjoy together throughout the year. The area’s feature ride, Captain Cookie’s High “C’s” Adventures, will take guests around a track with multiple small inclines that mimic the gentle rolling waves of the ocean. On the new Oscar’s Rotten Rusty Rockets, guests can join Oscar the Grouch and his best pal Slimey on a space mission in trash‐can rocketships. Children 42 inches and taller, can take a ride on Honker Dinger Derby, where colorful cars will move up and down while simultaneously rotating in small and large circles. Flying Cookie Jars will spin guests around in a giant cookie jar 40 feet above the ground for a monster’s eye view of the park. Families can also move and groove across the dance floor in spinning disco ball teacups with everyone’s favorite furry monsters on Monster Mix‐Up.
“Cookie’s Monster Land promises to be an exciting addition to Sesame Place, where millions of families have experienced the joy of being a kid – or being a kid again – over the past three and half decades,” says Bob Caruso, park president. “At Sesame Place, we are always looking for opportunities to offer our guests exciting and fun experiences, and this large scale renovation through the development of Cookie’s Monster Land will do just that.” In addition to rides, the land features a new monster‐themed climbing area for all ages to enjoy.


Everyone is welcome at the brand new Monster Clubhouse, where kids and parents alike will have a monster of a good time climbing and exploring together on this fun filled, 3‐story colorful net climb. For kids 5 and under, the new Mini Monster Clubhouse is a soft play area where even the youngest explorers can jump, climb, crawl and play. Families looking to refuel will find an expanded menu of graband‐go meals like sandwiches, fresh fruit and vegetable trays, and juice boxes to satisfy hungry little monsters at the Cookie’s Sometimes Anytime Food Market. The updated “1‐2‐3 Smile with Me!” interactive photo location also gives kids the chance to share a furry hug and a smile with Cookie Monster and friends.

As the park gears up for the debut of Cookie’s Monster Land, visit sesameplace.com or follow Sesame Place’s social media channels Sesame Place on Facebook and @sesameplace on Twitter for exciting updates and developments leading up to the grand opening celebration in May 2014.

DELIGHTFUL CHILDREN’S MUSICAL ANNABELLE BROOM, THE UNHAPPY WITCH COMES TO THE MASTER THEATER IN BRIGHTON BEACH FOR
TWO “SCARE-IFFIC” PERFORMANCES ON OCTOBER 20!

The Master Theater (formerly the Millennium Theatre) in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn is getting into the Halloween spirit when it hosts the enchanting children’s musical, Annabelle Broom, The Unhappy Witch, with two performances on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20. Tickets are on sale now!
Most people think witches are ugly, mean-hearted creatures.  But Annabelle Broom knows that is not always the case.  More interested in being fashionable than frightening, Annabelle bemoans her outdated black witch’s clothes and her failing grades in her witch classes.  She is unconventional and likes to wear pink and be nice to people instead of scary.  However, the head of the Witches’ Union doesn’t like her unconventional behavior and threatens to revoke Annabelle’s Haunting Card.  She orders Annabelle to scare two lost children.  But despite Annabelle’s reluctant efforts to frighten them, she agrees to help the children find their way home.  When the Witches’ Union hears of this, they rush to reprimand Annabelle before her good deeds take away all their powers.  But in the end, Annabelle, the Witches’ Union, and the lost children learn the truth about witches, and the power of doing good deeds.
With fun songs such as, “Pink Is My Color,” “We’ll Boil Her In Oil,” “Think One Happy Thought,” and “Witch Chant,” children and parents alike will be singing along together as Annabelle discovers the importance of staying true to herself in the face of adversity.  Written by Eleanor and Ray Harder with music by Eleanor Harder, Annabelle Broom, The Unhappy Witch has a delightful charm and a gentle wit.  The Los Angeles Times described the show as “a delight for youngsters, and their elders will find her fun too… music and lyrics are jaunty and fresh.”  The Miami News called it “a wonderful little play that richly deserved the standing ovation.”  Annabelle Broom, The Unhappy Witch is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
The recently renovated and rebranded 1,400 seat Master Theater offers comfortable seating with excellent acoustics and sight lines along with premium audio and visual systems.  The theater sits right in the heart of the vibrant Brighton Beach community and is easily accessible by subway and other forms of transit.

Romeo and Juliet
NYC Screening
We Have Passes For You


We have all heard of Romeo & Juliet. Most of us have had the chance to read the story or see it on screen. I love the story so much that I named my pet Lovebirds, Romeo & Juliet!
Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare’s epic and searing tale of love is revitalized on screen by writer Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) and director Carlos Carlei (The Flight of the Innocent). An ageless story from the world’s most renowned author is reimagined for the 21st Century. This adaptation is told in the lush traditional setting it was written, but gives a new generation the chance to fall in love with the enduring legend.  With an all-star cast including Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth, Paul Giamatti and Stellan Skarsgard, it affords those unfamiliar with the tale the chance to put faces to the two names they’ve undoubtedly heard innumerable times: Romeo and Juliet.  Every generation deserves to discover this lasting love.
