¾¨Ó㴫ý's Celebrity Series for Kids will present Enchantment Theatre Company's stage adaptation of The Adventures of Harold and the Purple Crayon Thursday, Nov. 5, at 7 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.
Based on Crockett Johnson's seven picture books, the show follows the adventures of an inventive young boy who creates the world he wants to explore using nothing but his crayon and his unlimited imagination. The audience will follow Harold as he jets to the Red Planet, joins a circus, and meets a princess in an enchanted garden.
The touring production, suitable for children aged three to eight, is supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Featuring life-sized puppets, masked actors, magic, and music, the show also uses large-scale animation to create Harold's world of make-believe.
Tickets are available at $8 for children and $13 for adults and can be ordered by calling the Celebrity Series Box Office at (724) 946-7354.
