How the Grinch Stole Christmas Sensory Friendly Performance

Children's Theatre Company Minneapolis, MN

A miserly and miserable, ever-so-cantankerous Grinch has observed the despicable Christmas joy of the Whos with disdain, from a distance, for decades. Enough! In this CTC holiday favorite, filled with music and Seussian rhymes, he plots the greatest heist imaginable—stealing the very thing they love the most! Until, that is, the smallest of the Whos, tiny Cindy Lou, extends a hand. Through the combination of kindness and community, we witness not only a change in the course of Who-History, but the size and capacity of the old green guy’s heart.

$15 – $83

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever – Relaxed Performance

Lakes International Language Academy Upper School 19850 Fenway Ave, Forest Lake, MN

For every mainstage show in our season, Children’s Performing Arts hosts a relaxed performance. In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – probably the most inventively awful kids in history.

$16 – $24
