OCL Puppet Players Present “The Bad Seed”

April 02, 2018

He’s rude, he’s crude. He’s got no friends. He’s just baaaad. Can he change? Children will find out in April and May, as the OCL Puppet Players present Jory John’s “The Bad Seed” at 19 Ocean County Library Branches.

The bestseller, with Pete Oswald’s whimsical illustrations, tells of the little seed that learns the error of his ways.

The performances are free. Register by phone, in person, or online at http://www.theoceancountylibrary.org.
