William Paterson University to Present “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”

“Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day,” an entertaining and educational musical that helps young audiences understand and accept that bad days happen to everyone, will be staged in the Shea Center for Performing Arts at 2 p.m. on March 5 at William Paterson University in Wayne.

The story, based on Judith Viorst’s popular children’s book, presents Alexander, a feisty young boy, who is struggling with life’s daily dramas. He wakes up with gum in his hair and then finds out that his mother forgot to pack him dessert for lunch. His day continues to get worse after he fights with his best friend. Even though Alexander’s mother can’t promise that tomorrow will be a better day, she wishes him a “good heart and good friends beside him.” The performance is appropriate for kindergarten through fifth grade students.

Surflight Theatre, a professional theatre group located in Ocean County, will present the performance.
Tickets are $5 for adults and free for children. For directions or to purchase tickets, please call the Shea Center Box Office at 973-720-2371.
