Area Attractions: Children’s Theatre Company’s Presents The Biggest Little House in the Forest

Children’s Theatre Company (CTC) is proud to announce the production of The Biggest Little House in the Forest, running January 29 through March 10, 2019, based on the book by Djemma Bider, adapted for the stage by Rosanna Staffa, music by Victor Zupanc, and directed by Peter C. Brosius and starring CTC Acting Company member Autumn Ness (TCG Fox Fellowship grantee). 

Meet Bernice the butterfly, who discovers a vacant house one day and makes it perfect just for her. Before long, a menagerie of creatures begin moving in one by one. While it’s difficult for Bernice, she accommodates...until...she can bear no more. Together they discover when you open your heart, there’s always room for more. The audience joins the newfound family of delightful critters to bring it all to life. Get ready for a pillow fight, bubble bath, and dance party as you help them create a very special version of Home, Sweet Home. This production is proudly sponsored by Treat & Company.
