Welcome from Columbus Children’s Theatre!
We are very excited about our new season.
We have plays that will make your child think, plays that
will bring delight and all of our plays will bring that
Wide-eyed Wonder of theatre to your family.
Bringing
children to a live theatre performance is a gift. You not only stimulate their
imagination, but you create memories that could last a lifetime. This season we
are providing a wide variety of opportunities for those memories.
We are opening our season with a blockbuster, Junie
B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business. Getting the rights to
produce this show proved challenging, but we did it! And it’s only the beginning
of the giggles and the fun. This December the theatre will be filled with
laughter when we bring back one of the funniest holiday shows of all time,
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Our
big spring show, The Sound of Music,
is perhaps the most popular musical of all time.
Like a good dinner, we need a balanced menu. How about an adventure story?
The Magician’s Nephew fit that bill.
It’s another story from the “Chronicles of Narnia.”
I saved comments for one of the best for last. I’m sure you’ve never heard of
this show. Neither had I before I read it. It’s called The Hobo and the Miracle. I read lots and lots of new scripts
each year – authors who are submitting plays in hopes of being produced, but
rarely am I touched. When I read “The Hobo” I laughed, I chuckled, I was
surprised and amazed. After finishing the story I felt a warm shiver down my
spine. Does that tell you enough? I will be directing this show in collaboration
with the BalletMet Columbus Academy. That’s right, the show has
music and dance – and it’s all tied into an astonishing story that I promise you
will remember.
It is an honor to bring live theatre to children. We offer some of the best
family entertainment in Central Ohio. If you haven’t been to our theatre, then
you are missing something special… an intimate 175 seat theatre with actors
merely feet away from the audience. We offer a professional product in a
friendly surrounding. I invite you to join us as a subscriber this year. You can
chose three shows, five, or have it all. One thing is certain, as a subscriber
you will enjoy quality entertainment sitting in the best seats at the best
prices.
See you at the theatre! William Goldsmith
