Aurora Children's Playhouse Announces March Events

Aurora Theatre has assembled the best children's performers in the region, bringing them to Gwinnett County in order to give parents and their children a chance to experience their artistry in our amazing facility in downtown Lawrenceville.

Aurora Children's Playhouse will kick off an amazing installment of children's performances in March with Celtic Music for Kids presented by The BorderCollies on March 13. This talented band of minstrels is one of the most beloved Celtic bands in the southeast and they will perform a high energy children's concert with an Irish flare on the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day. Their show will be packed full of music, heritage and audience participation. There will even be an instrument "petting zoo" to give children a hands-on experience. Be sure to wear green!

On March 20 Aurora Children's Playhouse welcomes back an audience favorite, "That Puppet Guy" - Lee Bryan, with The Big Bad Little Red Pig Show. That Big Bad Wolf is working double-time in this twisted, tangle of tales. Two childhood favorites have been cleverly squished together with just one Big Bad Wolf to share in all the hilarious fun. Lee has huffed and puffed new life into these stories through the use of rod puppets, hand puppets, clever music and an original script.

On March 27, Wendy Bennett puts her own spin on the timeless tale of Cinderella with puppets, costumes, props and plenty of audience participation. It's a story of transformations: pumpkins into coaches, mice into horses, shabby rags into a glistening ball gown and talented singer-actress Wendy Bennett into Cinderella. Incorporating games like Show Me on Your Face and High/Low Voices encourage children to exercise their imaginations in this delightful presentation of this classic fairy-tale.

The Aurora Children's Playhouse series features: puppeteers, magicians, storytellers, jugglers and musicians intended for youngsters to have their first theatrical experiences. At about 45 minutes in length, perfect for the young attention span, these lively performances are fun for the whole family. Aurora Children's Playhouse performances are held on select Saturday mornings at 10AM unless otherwise noted.
