Performances for or by children & young adults

Playhouse on Park presents GO, DOG, GO! Based on the book by P.D. Eastman on April 7 - 15
A veritable canine cabaret, this beloved children's book comes to life filled with acrobatics, music and physical comedy. These dogs – played by six agile actors – celebrate the many joys and challenges of life and friendship. The show takes the spirit of the book and brings it to life with a joyful and genuine intention that both children and adults will appreciate. The beauty of this story is that it provides an opportunity for adults to reconnect to the magic of childlike wonder and children to enjoy a story that celebrates youthful exuberance – and youthful frustrations – in a completely relatable manner.
Recommended for ages 4 and up

At the Ridgefield Playhouse is The Rainbow Fish  Tue, April 10 - 10:00am and 1:00pm
A 55 minute Musical for grades K-2, Presented by ArtsPower.
    With her lovely coloring and shimmering scales, the Rainbow Fish is used to being the most beautiful creature in the ocean. So when the other fish ask her for some silver scales, she refuses. How can she sacrifice the one thing that makes her so unique?
    Will some good advice from the wise old Octopus persuade the Rainbow Fish to share her gifts with those around her? ArtsPower has turned Marcus Pfister’s bestselling book into a delightful and touching musical about the value of sharing true friendship with others.

Also at the Ridgefield Playhouse on April 12 10:00am and 1:00pm is Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad  for Grades 3-8, Presented by Theatre IV.
    This stirring drama with music is a classic tribute to the great American who freed herself and hundreds of her people from the bonds of slavery.  Her courage helped to change the world.  Share her adventurous life, the joys, sorrows, and challenges faced by this brave woman in this accurate and deeply moving musical history lesson.

Opening at The Downtown Cabaret Children’s Theatre, is Allison Wonderland   Apr 15 - May 20
Allison is a hip teen who falls into a computer and runs into the craziest group of characters imaginable.  This mod mad musical based on the original Lewis Carroll tale is the theatrical surprise of the year with all of the Cabaret regular cast.
