DM Playhouse to Continue 'Today Funday' Series with RAPUNZEL

Join the Des Moines Community Playhouse on Mar. 4 for RAPUNZEL. This story is part of the 2015-16 season of Friday Funday, a creative participatory story theatre program for children ages 4-6. Performances are at the Playhouse, Friday, Mar. 4, at 9:30 AM, 10:45 AM, and 1:30 PM.

Shows are approximately 45 minutes in length. Admission is $6 per person, adults and children. Reservations are suggested and can be made online at dmplayhouse.com, by phone at 515-277-6261, and at the Playhouse ticket office.

March's featured story is RAPUNZEL. Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair! Rapunzel has been locked away in the tower by the witch. Will she be rescued, or can she rescue herself?

Join the Clubhouse at the Playhouse Gang each month as they dramatize a favorite story using their imaginations and the costume pieces and props they find in their Magic Trunk. Children learn the Clubhouse pledge and secret handshake, and listen for the word of the day.

Friday Funday performances are held monthly, September-May. The current season features a variety of stories, including RAPUNZEL, May 4; THE BRAVE LITTLE TAILOR, Apr. 8; and THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF, May 13.

The Playhouse is one of the oldest and largest community theatres in the US. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
