The carnival is in town and little Francine is so mesmerized by the clowns that she follows them and gets lost. Finally found, she gets a strict warning from her mother​—never wander off because people steal children and eat them! Later that night, older sister Marie annoyed by Francine, weaves a haunting bedtime story about the carnival, a ghost train and a clever ogress who keeps the clowns well-fed with their favorite delicacy. The Junior Players, advanced students in SCR’s Theatre Conservatory, present this funny, spooky tale of sibling rivalry, where dreams mix with reality and the moon is always watching over you. Lighting created the real world of the girls bedroom with warm neutral colors and helped guide the audience through the passage of time in the story. The carnival moments were supported with vibrant colors and textures and black light to make elements of the set pop.
