Children’s Theatre Resident Touring Company will offer 3 shows shows on the road in 2026-27:
IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE (Grades K – 2)
One thing leads to another, and another, and ANOTHER! What happens when a hungry little mouse shows up at your doorstep? If you give him a cookie, you’d better be prepared for a whirlwind of hilarious demands! Based on the wildly popular circular tale by Laura Numeroff, this high-energy show follows the chain reaction of events sparked by one simple snack. Anyone who’s ever had a toddler in the house will recognize every delightful, exhausting minute. Spoiler: One cookie is never, ever enough!
BENEATH THE BAOBAB TREE (Grades 2 -5)
Journey through the history and culture of Africa Young Nia dreams of becoming the next griot (storyteller) in her family, and Anansi — the legendary trickster — is just the guide she needs. This world premiere original play features a collection of four tales: “Anansi’s Quest: Anansi Wins Stories for the World”, “The Magic Tree”, “Why the Sun and Moon are Far Away”, and “Anansi and the Singing Pot of Beans”. Gather Beneath the Baobab Tree and celebrate the power of storytelling passed down through generations.
AMELIA EARHART (3rd grade & up)
Take a flight back in history! Amelia Earhart is a breathtaking theatrical journey that explores the life and enduring legacy of America’s most celebrated aviatrix. The play begins with the driving curiosity of a reporter determined to solve history’s greatest disappearance, asking the question that has haunted the world for nearly a century: “What happened, Amelia?” This framing device pulls the audience into a fast-paced narrative that moves seamlessly between the sensational headlines of the 1920s and the intimate, private memories of the “Queen of the Air.”
