Princeton Summer Theater Sets Annual Children's Programming

By:
Each year Princeton Summer Theater produces affordable family entertainment through our annual Children's Show. We create these productions to engage every member of the audience, from the youngest children to the adults accompanying them.

For this year's Children's Show, Princeton Summer Theater will produce The Owl and the Pussycat, an adaptation of an Edward Lear poem written by Annika Bennett, writer of Eyes Up High in the Redwood Tree at the Lewis Center for the Arts.

The Owl and the Pussycat follows an owl and a pussycat who wake up one day lost at sea in a pea-green boat and must figure out how they got there - and where might they go next? A joyful celebration of the strange and wonderful logic of nonsense worlds - The Owl and the Pussycat is sure to be great fun for all ages!

Tickets for the show are $12, free for children under 3. Shows are at 11am on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, from July 7-July 30. The show will run for approximately 40 minutes. After each performance, actors come out to meet with children, sign their programs, and talk about the characters and the play. All performances are held at Princeton Summer Theater in the Hamilton Murray Theater on Princeton University's campus.
