A Holiday Favorite Returns
We have seen The Grinch at CTC before and absolutely loved it. The production is funny, energetic, and filled with incredibly talented performers. It’s the kind of show that works for both kids seeing it for the first time and adults who grew up loving the classic Dr. Seuss story.
Children’s Theatre Company originally commissioned and premiered its adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! in 1994, and the production has become one of CTC’s most popular holiday traditions. Over the years, it has drawn families back over and over again for its mix of humor, music, and the message that even the smallest heart can grow.
The production is directed by CTC Artistic Director Peter C. Brosius and is adapted from the classic book by Dr. Seuss.
