Alhambra Launches Children’s Daytime Theater Program
Snow White to Start January 15
(Jacksonville, FL) – Reprising it’s Children’s Theatre workshops and performance schedule, the new Alhambra Theatre & Dining will start showing Snow White, Managing Partner Craig Smith announced today. Scheduled for Tuesday and Friday mornings, the shows will start on January 15th and run through the summer.
The Children’s Theatre show, which is already cast and in rehearsal, is targeted toward children age 4-9 who will enjoy a performance of Snow White and will have the opportunity to participate on the Alhambra’s famous stage as characters in the play. The show is directed by Tod Booth, Jr., and will feature many of the theatre’s cast members, as well as choreographers, singer and stagehands.
“This is one of my favorite Alhambra traditions, and one of the things that truly make the Theatre a special place,” stated Craig Smith. He continued, “I love having children in the theatre. We want to nurture their curiosity as fans of live theater and cultivate their interest in the performing arts. It’s rewarding for me, it’s fun for the cast members and it provides for the children a great taste – in some cases a first taste -- of live theatre.”
The shows are open to individuals and school groups, and reservations must be made in advance through the box office. Tickets are $8.00 and include a drink for each child. Call the box office at (904) 641-1212 or visit www.alhambrajax.com for details.
