A New Season at the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati Begins

October 8, 2011 By FFCStaff

Giveaway Closed. Congrats to FFC reader, Samantha. Check your email Samantha for details!

 

Oh I love Fall – sweaters, cool air after a HOT Summer, and CTC is back up and running!  That’s right, the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati returns for another blockbuster season to please young and old alike.

And the season starts with a classic I can’t wait to see.  The Wizard of Oz opens on Friday (10/14) and with sell outs all year last year, you’ll want to move fast to make sure you don’t miss out.

The beauty of CTC is that children can begin their appreciation of live theater young, in an environment that is totally kid-friendly. The shows are top notch and enjoyable for the whole family. This will be my family’s third year as loyal fans and it is one of my favorite things about Cincinnati.

The whole season at CTC is going to be fantastic: after Oz there will be the third edition of Holiday Follies in December, Disney’s My Son Pinocchio in February and the season wraps up with Rapunzel in March. I can’t pick a favorite!  And when you can get tickets for as little as $7 for each show – you don’t need to!

You can find out more information on their site and order tickets. Believe me, sell outs will happen – it’s the hot ticket for kiddos – so don’t delay!

We’re partnering with CTC again this year to give a family four pack of tickets to the 5pm performance of Wizard of Oz on Saturday, October 22nd.  To enter to win, leave a comment here telling us which Oz character you would be and why. Earn a second entry after you do the first by going to CTC’s Facebook Page and liking them so you don’t miss out on any of their news. Come back here and leave a second comment telling us you did so.  Earn a THIRD, yes THIRD entry by becoming a subscriber and leaving a comment. If you already are great – leave a comment letting us know.

We’ll draw a winner on FRIDAY – OCTOBER 14th at 4:56 pm!  Good luck and for our friends at Children’s Theatre: BREAK A LEG!

    I’m a huge Wizard of Oz fan. We went and saw this tonight. Since we moved here from NY, we have gone to Cincinnati Children’s Theater for about 4 years now. It was not the same quality of shows as they usually produce. It was good, but you can tell they’ve changed management. It is a decent show. However, it is not the typical Wizard of Oz play from any stage version I’ve seen. There were some funny moments. Staging and dancing was weak. Acting was good. Singing was so so. Set was really nice, though. HEADS UP FOR THOSE WITH VERY SMALL CHILDREN– When they meet the wizard, it can get a bit scary for little ones. My 11 and 13 year old seemed to enjoy it and they’ve seen the Wizard of Oz 3 or 4 times already. / I would be Glinda because she flies around in a bubble!

    Dorothy….my granddaughters adore Dorothy so it would only be fitting to be a wonderful Dorothy for them. They have the clothes, shoes and all and have memorized the movie.

    I would “like” this on Facebook, but I deleted my account because it drove my kids crazy when it sucked me in. Can I get an entry for that? 😉

  10. Meredith K.C. says

    October 14, 2011 at 10:09 am

    I would be Dorothy because as a little girl, I would always pretend to be her while playing. I still sing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”, but now it’s a lullaby to my daughter at bedtime. 🙂

    October 14, 2011 at 9:58 am

    I love Wizard of OZ such a great classic. I think I would be Dorothy because she is always helping others and no matter the cost to her, she is willing to at least try to help a friend (a new on or an old one)

  22. Beckie Moore says

    October 13, 2011 at 5:46 pm

    I would absolutely be Toto. Not only are you the true impetus for the entire saga, but you get to look unbearably cute in a basket. And finally Toto reveals the Wizard to be a fraud. Toto rocks!!

  23. Becky G says

    October 13, 2011 at 5:41 pm

    Done. Done. and Done! That’s three!

  25. Becky G says

    October 13, 2011 at 5:36 pm

    Well, I feel like I relate most to the scarecrow as far being the most like me, but I think I would want to be the Cowardly Lion because he is always scared of silly things when he really has the courage all along to dismiss the fear. A lot of times I find that I won’t do something, not because I can’t do it, but because I fear doing it. So I would like to be the Cowardly Lion. (Wizard of Oz is one of my all-time favorite shows ever!!)
