It’s not all
sports and competition all the time at Go

Playhouse Disney Live!
In this brand new live show, you're invited to the Mickey
Mouse Clubhouse as Mickey plans a spectacular music party for all his friends.
The Little Einsteins set off on a musical mission around the world to find a
song for the party - with the help of Rocket, of course! Pooh, Tigger and Darby
spring into action to search for music in the Hundred Acre Wood, and Handy
Manny and his team of tools find the perfect party beat. Laugh, sing and play
along, 'cause your favorite Playhouse Disney pals are live on stage, and you're
invited to join the party. Two shows at noon and 3 p.m. on February 27 at The
Centre (812) 435-5550.
