SIf you want to start taking your little ones to the theater, here is a great place to start! Follow the trail of breadcrumbs all the way to Dallas Children’s Theater to see HANSEL AND GRETEL running from March 4 – April 3, 2016

Puppeteers follow the storyline of the centuries-old fairytale that has been told time and time again. When B. Wolf adapted HANSEL AND GRETEL for DCT, she made slight changes to some of the more graphic elements to reflect the family-friendly audiences that Dallas Children’s Theater caters to. Wolf has been writing and puppeteering for Kathy Burks for 40 years, and composing music productions for DCT since 1995.

Audiences will hear variations of melodies from Engelbert Humperdinck’s 19th century opera, Hansel und Gretel, in the songs and underscore also written by Wolf. People will recognize one of the most well-known songs from the opera in HANSEL AND GRETEL’s fourth song, Prayer. Actors sing this tune as the lost children try to go to sleep in the mystical, dark forest. In the song, angels descend to protect the children as they sleep.

On opening night, audience members will leave with a small bag of treats from Amy’s Chocolate Gifts to enjoy from home—not a mysterious trail. Before the show on March 4, patrons will be surrounded by a thicket of activities including face painting, a lollipop-themed craft, and giveaways. Tickets for HANSEL AND GRETEL range in price from $13 to $26; lap seats are available for children under 3 years old.

To reserve your tickets for a family-friendly retelling of HANSEL AND GRETEL, please call the DCT Box Office at 214-740-0051 or visit dct.org.
