A free public preview performance will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 3, in the Frey Theater, St. Catherine University, 2004 Randolph Ave., St. Paul.

Sure to delight the young and young at heart, “1, 2, Buckle My Shoe” combines song, rhyme, puppetry and improvisation to tell the story of a day in the life of a primary student, Lucy Nicey, and her four best friends – Pam, Josie, Tammy and Cathy.
