Humpty Dumpty Falls in Love at Little People’s Theatre
How can an egg fall in love? Especially when the beautiful princess hates eggs! Watch the classic storybook tale come alive before your very eyes in a hilarious new way! Children will experience lively participation talking to HumptyDumpty, booing the Wicked King, and helping the Beautiful Princess find her missing prince. The play is 40 minutes long. It is one of our most popular plays! The play is wholesome and never scary!
The season concludes with an all-new musical, Disney’s Freaky Friday The Musical (One-Act Edition) (April 1- May 8, 2022). When an uber-organized mother and her spontaneous teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right. By spending a day in each other’s shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another in a way they never could have imagined.
Celebration Theatre Co. returns for their fourth season in the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater with the Orlando premiere of The SpongeBob Musical. The stakes are higher than ever in this dynamic stage musical, as SpongeBob and all of Bikini Bottom face the total annihilation of their undersea world. Chaos erupts. Lives hang in the balance. And just when all hope seems lost, a most unexpected hero rises up and takes center stage.
