Based on the books by Harry Allard
But where is she?! And what’s up with the new substitute teacher, Viloa Swamp? Come help Detective McSmogg and the Kids in Room 207 figure out where in the world Miss Nelson has gone! Based on Harry Allard’s beloved books Miss Nelson is Missing and Miss Nelson is Back, this adaptation by Joan Cushing (who also penned last season’s Junie B. Jones) is just about as fun as a snow day!
Written and Directed by CCT's Jerry Stevenson
Brrrrrrr! It seems just another frigid Scandinavian day when Kai disappears with the cold-hearted Snow Queen. Luckily, his best friend Gerda is willing to risk everything to save him! Join Gerda on her journey through this Hans Christian Andersen classic as she tests the power of friendship in the face of great obstacles. Penned by CCT Artistic Director, Jerry Stevenson (who also wrote 2005’s Puss in Boots) this classic fairy tale comes to life with just a twist of that special Columbia Children’s Theatre style!
A hare-raising musical comedy mystery based on the beloved books by James and Deborah Howe.
Beware The Hare! Is he a vampire? Is he a bunny? Or is he BOTH! Before it’s too late, Harold the Dog and Chester the Cat must find out what’s up with the new pet in the Monroe household—a suspicious-looking bunny, with unusual habits…and fangs! Told in the style of old black and white movies from the 1940’s this musical-melodrama will delight audiences of all ages! Move over Dracula, there’s a new Bunny in town!
Performances at 9:15 and 10:45 amThursday, April 16Friday, April 17
Based on the book by Judith Viorst
Alexander is having a bad day: a terrible day in fact. A really horrible day! Just a very bad day! In this delightful musical adaptation of Judith Viorst’s popular children’s book, Alexander struggles with life’s daily dramas like waking up with gum in your hair, cavities and — yuck — kissing on TV! This fanciful CCT production will have you rolling in the floor and maybe, just maybe help everyone learn how to deal with … those very bad days!
