With her lovely coloring and shimmering scales, The Rainbow Fish is used to being the most beautiful creature in the ocean. Therefore, when she is asked to share her silver scales with the other fish, she refuses. How can she sacrifice the one thing that makes her so unique? Will some good advice from the wise old Octopus persuade The Rainbow Fish to share her gifts with those around her? ArtsPower has turned Marcus Pfister's bestselling book into a delightful and touching musical about the value of sharing true friendship with others.

We also meet Aesop himself, in his Greek toga, with his dog Moral by his side.

Athena Lorenzo has been slimed and she doesn't think it's very funny. Someone in Ms. Gleason's class is playing practical jokes. Claiming to be the very first detective in the whole school, it is up to Theodore "Jigsaw" Jones and his friend Mila to investigate the sliming and track down the class clown. This could be their stickiest case yet! Brimming with music, charm, and humor, ArtsPower's new production - based on the book by renowned author James Preller - will make audiences laugh and think as they learn the secret codes that Jigsaw must decipher to solve the mystery.

School Day Performance Information
Transportation
All performances are held at Central Auditorium at Central Middle School, located at 200 West Main Cross in Findlay. Members of the Findlay City School Transportation Department ensure students exit buses or vans safely and supervise bus parking.
Buses and Vans: All students enter through the main entrance on West Main Cross. Those driving buses and vans need to drop students directly in front of the school facing west on West Main Cross. They will then be directed to turn right (north) on West Street and park in the designated space in the lot behind Central Middle School.
Following the performance, volunteers direct students riding buses or vans out the back of the school to the parking lot where they will board their buses and vans. No buses or vans will leave until all students have been safely boarded.
Handicap Accessibility: Students requiring handicap access may utilize the ADA handicap-accessible ramp located on the east side of the school on Cory Street (one-way street going north). After unloading passengers, buses and vans will be directed to the designed space in the lot behind Central Middle School . Following the performance, students will be directed out the East door of the Auditorium to exit via the handicap ramp.
Walking or Private Vehicles: Parking for those driving private vehicles is available on area streets and in the lot behind the school not designated for buses and vans. All students walking or arriving by private vehicle will enter and exit the Auditorium via the front entrance on West Main Cross.
Seating
ADA handicap accessible seating is available in Central Auditorium and will be accommodated. All other seating assignments are made based upon the date of receipt of the reservations, as well as group size and needs.
All seats are $3.00.
Cancellation
In the event of a cancellation due to weather, we will make every effort to reschedule the performance. If this is not possible, we will issue a credit that you can use towards another performance within the next school year. No refunds will be given.
Dramatic Connections
This program, made possible by a Hancock READS grant from the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation, encourages teachers from schools within Hancock County to implement in-class activities to connect a professional theatre performance with an arts-based literacy lesson.
