The Arkansas Arts Center Children’s Theatre begins its 2016-2017 season Friday with an original show created specifically for 2- to 5-year-olds, Tyke and Moppet. The production is part of the theater’s Studio Shows where children and parents watch and listen as the play unfolds around them, showcasing actors and ideas instead of scenery.
The Children’s Theatre schedule includes two more Studio Shows, Stone Soup, Jan. 20-22, and Frankenstein, May 10-14, along with six Main Stage shows: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (Sept. 23-Oct. 9); Winnie-the-Pooh (Oct. 28-Nov. 13); The Elves and the Shoemaker (Dec. 2-18); The Laughable Legend of Fancybeard the Bully Pirate (Feb. 3-19); Fancy Nancy The Musical (March 10-April 2) and Rapunzel (April 28-May 14).
