Children's Theater

The first show developed by company founders is a treat for the entire family. By DEBBIE MINTER JACKSON

First season by recently appointed Executive Director Melynda Burdette Wintrol and Artistic Director Kurt Boehm promises 'the best of theater for young audiences.'

A young sleuth in a slump has a passion for purple pancakes.

Celebrating 20 years in downtown Bethesda, the company will remount several of its most popular shows from the past two decades.

Based on a Brothers Grimm tale, the imaginative show is a great family outing.

In the age of tiny electronic devices for small fingers, the company celebrates its 40th year of 'inspiring a new generation of puppet enthusiasts.'

Presented by Arts on the Horizon, the show moves to 1st Stage for free performances from March 31 to April 2.

The projection and video designer talks about writing and directing 'Fitting In,' a show for two- to five-year-olds, which just premiered at Arts on the Horizon.

The clever children's play invites audience members young and old to enjoy the promise of spring and the simplicity of enthusiasm.

Play is the name of the game in this delightful children's musical.

If the cast and crew can pick up the pace, the show will be a sweet little diversion to welcome kids to the world of puppetry and live performance.

Two hours of loopy delight for the audience and a heaping helping of fun for the cast.

The show has a soothing and calming effect on its young audience, which is lovely to see.

The endearing show helps us root for Hershel while we recognize our own inner struggles. Quite an accomplishment for puppets!

An absurd yet poignant musical about the courage to go against the norm.

For parents, a delight of the show is the squeals coming from the tots on our laps.

Kids prepare to start school in a new musical that's big on empowerment and inclusivity.

The young cast of this new musical has an energy that’s contagious.

The show is perfectly aimed at young audiences and adults interested in puppetry alike.

And several jokes in the script went over the heads of the little ones but elicited guffaws from the caregivers.
