The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum will host Family Fundays throughout June, beginning June 6 at 11 a.m. with a performance of "Ferdinand the Bull."

Creative PlayGround presents this interactive theater piece, based on the book "The Story of Ferdinand," by Munro Leaf, about a peace-loving bull that winds up in a Madrid bullfight.

According to the press release:

"Audience members participate from the moment they arrive, working with the actors before the show to make pipe-cleaner flowers that are thrown into the ring during the bullfight. Volunteers become the other young bulls of the meadow as well as the Men from Madrid who are looking for bulls to fight. All are invited to help Ferdinand create stories using their imagination and one youngster even becomes the Matador!"

The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum
1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd.
Topanga, CA 90290

Tickets: $8 ($1 per ticket discount for families/groups of 5 or more.)
Note: The outdoor amphitheater is terraced into the hillside of the rustic canyon. Dress casually and bring cushions or blankets for comfortable family seating.

Perry's Previews is the kid-tastic movie-review website run by 10-year-old film critic Perry Chen.

This precocious SoCal youngster reviews family-friendly films (G and PG only) and gives them his own trademark "Perrific!" ratings. He rates the movies with 1-5 Starfish, with 5 being the best. Any movie rated 4 and higher is deemed "Perrific!" a term Perry coined for his system.

Perry has teamed with Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment to give away a free "Alice in Wonderland" DVD.

To enter, visit www.perryspreviews.com by tomorrow, June 3, and submit a short essay of your "Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast," or email it to perryspreviews@gmail.com.

Only children ages 15 and younger may enter.
