Chicago Children's Theatre Presents BEATRIX POTTER HOLIDAY TEA PARTY

Chicago Children's Theatre's The Beatrix Potter Holiday Tea Party came into its own last holiday season, attracting more than a thousand toddlers, parents and grandparents, many dressed up in their holiday finest, to sold out performances during the show's inaugural run in CCT's new West Loop home, The Station.

This holiday season, children of all ages are once again invited to get dressed up and enjoy a charming, ingeniously designed puppet show plus a spot of hot cocoa with CCT's favorite friends from the English Lake District when The Beatrix Potter Holiday Tea Party returns to Chicago Children's Theatre, December 8-24.

But The Beatrix Potter Holiday Tea Party is more than a show. It's a special occasion for families to celebrate the holidays together. In addition to enjoying a highly interactive puppet show starring Peter Rabbit and his quirky animal friends, Chicago Children's Theatre's bright, wide open lobby is a festive setting for a post-show tea party complete with hot cocoa, scrumptious cookies, beautiful holiday décor and the chance to meet and pose for photos with members of the cast.

The Beatrix Potter Holiday Tea Party runs in a limited engagement, weekends only, December 8-24, 2018, at Chicago Children's Theatre, The Station, 100 S. Racine Ave. in Chicago's West Loop. Show times are Saturday and Sunday at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Press are invited to attend any show on opening weekend, December 8 or 9.

The run concludes with special Christmas Eve performances at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., Monday, December 24.
