Casa Mañana Theatre Announces 2016-2017 Children's Theatre Season

Casa Mañana's Children's Theatre Season is packed with playful fun that children of all ages will enjoy, including A Year With Frog And Toad, September 30 - October 16, 2016; a brand new holiday story Santa Claus - A New Musical, November 25 - December 23, 2016; bringing back the whimsical new version of a classic story Rapunzel! Rapunzel! A Very Hairy Fairy Tale, February 3-19, 2017; an exciting, new musical Red Riding Hood, March 17 - April 2, 2017; and Disney's The Little Mermaid, April 21 - May 14, 2017, a classic family favorite.

A Broadway hit, A Year With Frog And Toad is perfect for the whole family! Based on the well-loved books, this whimsical musical follows two great friends -- the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad -- through the year. Waking from hibernation in the spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens, eat cookies, swim in funny bathing suits, rake leaves, go sledding, and learn life lessons along the way. Part vaudeville, part make-believe and all charm, A Year with Frog And Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures, weathering all seasons. This show is suitable for all audiences.

Delivering toys to children all over the world on Christmas Eve isn't easy, especially when you've been doing it for over a thousand years! When Santa announces that this will be his last Christmas, the search is on for someone to fill some very big shoes - or in this case, boots. But not everyone in the North Pole is feeling too giddy about Santa's first choice for a replacement. Now it's up to Father Christmas and his workshop of elves to get the new Santa Claus ready in time for Christmas! Santa Claus - A New Musical has brand new original songs and lots of holiday cheer. This show is suitable for all audiences.

Let down your hair in this charming musical. Join handsome Sir Roderick and his hairdressing side-kick, Edgar, as they search for true love and the perfect head of hair! With a dragon who has lost his poof, an evil enchantress, and a magical cast of characters, Rapunzel! Rapunzel! will delight princes and princesses of all ages. This show is suitable for all audiences.

A bewitching new musical, Red Riding Hood tells an uplifting story of brave Red, who must journey through the forest to reunite her family and save her mother's bakery from closing down. Will she reach Grandma's house in time? Or will the charming Big Bad Wolf distract her from her quest? Join Red on her journey into the woods, where no one is who they seem and adventure waits at every turn! This show is suitable for all audiences.

Based on the classic animated film, Disney's The Little Mermaid, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its unforgettable songs including "Under the Sea," "Kiss the Girl," and "Part of Your World." When the mermaid, Princess Ariel, longs for a life out of the water, she bargains with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her fins for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.
