Become a Fan of Children's Playhouse

In August at ACP

School is back in session and so is Aurora Children’s Playhouse with two dynamic performances this August to kick off our 2010 – 2011 Season of Children’s performances.

On August 12, join Brer Rabbit and his friends for 40 minutes of stories, music, and humor in this new production by puppeteer, David Stephens (All Hands Productions). The New Adventures of Brer Rabbit combines the classic characters with new, original stories. Brer Rabbit has his toughness put to the test in "Brer Rabbit and the Fly." Brer Bear falls for one of Brer Fox’s tricks in "Brer Bear and the Beehive." You’ll learn Brer Rabbit’s special fishing technique in "Brer Rabbit Goes Fishing." Finally, Brer Rabbit learns to play the banjo in "Brer Rabbit Tries to Sing." This all ages show features hand and rod puppets.

Children's entertainer Scott Douglas (World Music Productions) takes audiences on a fantastic journey to discover the 20th Century's only new acoustic instrument on August 28. In Panorama of Steel Drums, audience members will not only hear but participate in a performance featuring the sounds of Calypso, Reggae, Soca and other forms of music on the steel drum. Enjoy the last sounds of summer and the excitement of a Caribbean carnival.
