Playtime Poppy, is the mascot for Playtime Poppy Children’s Theatre. Playtime Poppy was once a small ear of corn in a cornfield near Cedar Rapids who wanted to attend the theater. When she was shipped to Cedar Rapids with a load of corn, Playtime Poppy jumped out and found her way to the public library. There she found the Children’s Theatre headquarters. When asked to become the mascot, Playtime Poppy happily accepted.
“I love to sing and dance and play most every kind of game. The Children’s Theatre is my home, and Playtime Poppy is my name! I look forward to seeing you soon.”
