When a pair of smugglers come looking for a stolen necklace hidden inside one of the books, the characters must find a way to rescue the bookshop without being seen.

The Talented Clementine
Encore Stage & Studio and Kid Pan Alley present the world premiere of The Talented Clementine
Script by Paul Reisler. Lyrics and Music by Paul Reisler and children in Kid Pan Alley residencies excepted as noted.
Adapted from the book, “The Talented Clementine” by Sara Pennypacker published by Disney Hyperion.
Clementine gets nervous when her third grade teacher announces that her class will be putting on a talent show to raise money for the spring trip. She can’t sing or dance or play an instrument like her super talented friend Margaret, and what talents she does have would not work on a stage. Clementine must find an act, any act, to perform before the night of the big show. But with only a few days to do so, can she put it together in time? We recommend this musical for ages 6 and older.
