Doors Open at 5:30 for hands-on activities related to this educational fun musical. Performance runs from 6:30 to 7:30 followed by free Milk and Cookies and Actors signing Autographs. Kids may wear their jammies or their favorite buccaneer gear! Wheelchair seating is accessible and there will be a Sign Language interpreter.
The ENT CENTER FOR THE ARTS is a brand new theater experience for your family. Every seat is great! This beautiful theater is much smaller than the Pikes Peak Center so the performance will sell out quickly.
