Ocean State Theatre Company's Family Fun Fest features a variety of performances being held on select Saturday mornings from December through May.

The Family Fun Fest Schedule features the following performances:

December 12, 2015 - OSTC4Kids presents Yes Virginia

The musical inspired by the true story of 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon, who wrote a letter to the New York Sun in 1897, to ask about the existence of Santa Claus. The editor's poignantly-worded response became one of the most famous editorials of all time and served as the inspiration for Macy's "Believe" campaign.

January 16, 2016 - The One-Man Variety Show

As seen on "The Today Show." Robert Post creates a charismatic comedy feast which unleashes the imagination and defies description. Specializing in rapid-fire character changes, Post Comedy Theatre presents a hilarious mix of unforgettable characters that's fun for all ages!

February 6, 2016 - Keith Michael Johnson presents Bubbleology

Back by popular demand! As seen on The Discovery Channel, Keith Michael Johnson enchants audiences of all ages with the art and science of soap bubbles. He builds beautiful sculptural creations (massive and miniature) with enthusiasm, humor and style. You can learn a lot from a bubble!

March 5, 2016 - OSTC4Kids presents James and the Giant Peach

Roald Dahl's story comes hilariously to life in this delightful dramatization which reveals the wickedness of some, the goodness of others, and the indecision encountered by many, when they are faced with crises. An incredible journey!

April 9, 2016 - Lollipops for Breakfast

Sylvie decides she's going to have lollipops for breakfast, even if it means making her own perfect lollipop from scratch. She and her trusty pet bird search for missing ingredients, wrestle with giant candy machines, and get lost in a magical pop-up cookbook!

May 7, 2016 - LuckyBob

LuckyBob amazes audiences with his uncanny magic and juggling skills. It's a roller coaster ride filled with laughs, cheers and smiles! He juggles random objects, reads minds, pulls cards out of the air, and vanishes objects, while interacting with and incorporating children and adults throughout the show.
