Children’s Theatre of Charlotte presents A Sick Day For Amos McGee

Stanly County Partnership for Children along with the Stanly County Arts Council are excited to partner with the Children’s Theatre of Charlotte to bring A Sick Day For Amos McGee to the Albemarle Neighborhood Theatre. The event is free, however, donations are accepted.

Friendship can be the best medicine when you’re feeling blue.
Friends come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. In this heart-warming story about the joys of friendship, zookeeper Amos McGee knows friends can come in all sorts of species, too. Every day, Amos visits his animal friends at the zoo, running races with the tortoise, caring for a particularly shy penguin, and reading stories to an owl. One day, Amos is too sick to visit his zoo friends, but, fortunately, the animals know just what to do.
