OCTOBER 15 - 30
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
CTM’s annual holiday classic gets a makeover in this new adaptation of the timeless tale. True to the original story, we are transported back in time to Victorian England as Spirits Past, Present and Future help Scrooge embrace the true meaning of Christmas. Directed by Brian Cowing, music, dance, and imaginative staging spark the storytelling magic. Don’t miss this celebration of the season in the splendor of Overture’s Capitol Theater. Featuring LaShawn Banks as Ebenezer Scrooge!
Mole is very busy. When Fox comes along and says her hill needs to move, Mole’s world is turned topsy-turvy. Together Mole and her friends discover what happens when we work together, explore new terrain, and look up to the sky. Inspired by Lois Ehlert’s beautiful children’s stories, this adaptation by Alvaro Saar Rios integrates Spanish language, live music and creative movement into a wonderful introductory play for our youngest audiences. Special ticket prices for children 6 and under!
Perfect for ages 3-7 (and their grownups!) By Alvaro Saar Rios Adapted from Lois Ehlert’s “Mole’s Hill”, “Moon Rope” & “Cuckoo” stories Directed by Jamal Howard Lead Sponsor: Lead
