Waterpalooza Review - Hoover Public Library

Well, we went to the library again last night for the Summer Reading's special program.  I was not impressed.  I do not have photos of the night to share because I dropped my phone in a shark tank over the weekend and it is acting weird (i'll explain later and no, rice did not really work this time!). 


Waterpalooza was put on by the Atlantic Coast Theatre.  The description of the show from their website reads "WATERPALOOZA (A Benefit Concert To Save Water).  A.C.T. For Youth goes green... in this WATER CONSERVATION Themed Comedy/Rock Musical.  ROCK LOBSTER & ROCK SHRIMP from the band "THE CRUSTACEANS" are your hosts for WATERPALOOZA. They are joined by their special guest... Hip-Hop Megastar MAN-A-T!!! Get ready to clap your hands, rock-out, & laugh as these colorful characters teach the audience the importance of being WATER SAVERS...NOT WATER WASTERS."

Seriously????  Is this a show for kids or for the parents?  The kids don't know enough to save water.  Most of the kids there are under 7 years old ... don't their parents still run the water for their bath, brushing teeth, etc.?  The music was really corny and just plain odd.  It didn't help that we were running late and therefore we had to sit in the back/top of the theatre instead of the front row.  However, that may have been a blessing.  The show talked about the 6 phases of a water cycle.  Does Sarah even care?  She did like to dance when they played music, but she entertained herself mostly with trying to peel the number labels off of the chairs.  You know the ones -- I'm in row 5, seat 7.  Yeah, those.  Sorry HPL.  Next time pick a group that can entertain my child better!  See you next week!!
