Roanoke Island Festival Park has just announced a number of new family friendly children’s shows coming to the Outer Banks this summer.
The 2015 schedule of kids shows at Roanoke Island Festival Park includes:

Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel by Children’s Theatre of Charlotte – June 17, 18, and 19 at 10:30am
Mike Mulligan and his beloved Steam Shovel, Mary Anne, have been together for many years. But times have changed and newer, fancier shovels have become fashionable, leaving them out of work and down to their last dime. Their final hope lies in the little town of Popperville, which needs a basement dug for its new City Hall.
The story of hard work, determination and friendship comes to life in this delightful musical adaptation, where we learn that the newest, biggest or most expensive isn’t necessarily the best! Children’s Theatre of Charlotte (formerly known as Tarradiddle Players) has grown to become one of the top theatre and education organizations for young people in the United States.
