The winner will receive two family four packs to the Family Theater Series performances of One Night in Frog Town on Saturday, Jan. 12, a show by Emmy-winning author/composer Philip Pelletier that uses music to teach lessons about cultural diversity, and the nationally-acclaimed Story Pirates on Saturday, Feb. 2, which is a hilarious and interactive sketch comedy show which received rave reviews from comedian Jon Stewart.
