Ordinary kid, weird event
Through April 16. Stanley Lambchop is a fictional kid whose bulletin board falls on him while he’s asleep. The result? Stanley wakes up flat. In “The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley,” a children’s theater production now showing at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, the audience follows along as Stanley attempts to become three-dimensional again. This show is recommended for kids 4 and older. Performances generally happen Monday through Friday at 10 a.m. and noon. Tickets are $8-$12. 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada; 720-898-7200 or
