2011/2012 Children's Theater Season
Treasure Island
by Steve and Kathy Hotchner
September 20 – October 22, 2011
The most popular pirate story ever written in English, the story finds young Jim Hawkins, the owner of a
map to Treasure Island, dealing with buccaneers of varying shades of menace and, of course, Long
John Silver…one moment a friendly, laughing, one-legged sea-cook . . .and the next a dangerous
pirate leader! This rip-roaring adventure story is also a deeply moving study of a boy’s growth into
manhood as he learns hard lessons about friendship, loyalty, courage and honor.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever playing at Grace Theater
by Barbara Robinson
November 23 – December 23, 2011
A one-act version for younger imaginations. In this hilarious Christmas tale, a couple struggling to put
on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – probably the most inventively
awful kids in history. You won’t believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide
with the Christmas story head on!
The Velveteen Rabbit
February 21 – March 24, 2012
Given as a Christmas gift to a young boy, the Velveteen Rabbit lives in the nursery with all of the other
toys, waiting for the day when the Boy will choose him as a playmate. In time, the shy Rabbit learns the
goal of all nursery toys: to be made "real" through the love of a human. Children learn the transformative
power of love in Margery Williams's timeless tale.
Cinderella
by William Glennon
April 17 – May 25, 2012
Cinderella is the classic story of a beautiful girl, her evil stepmother and stepsisters, and the fairy godmother
who helps her meet the prince of her dreams. Enchanting and stimulating for the imagination,
the story is one of goodness triumphing over evil and wickedness. Despite overwhelming odds,
Cinderella’s love, dreams, and unselfishness help her triumph.
