Children’s Theatre Company (CTC) is thrilled to announce the complete cast and creative team for the hotly-anticipated return engagement of Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! which will run from November 3, 2026-January 3, 2027, on the UnitedHealth Group Stage. Opening night is Friday, November 6, 2026, at 7pm. Featuring a book and lyrics by Timothy Mason and music by Mel Marvin, the production will be directed once again by CTC Core Company member Dean Holt, with music direction by Jason Hansen and Victor Zupanc, and choreography by Karla Grotting. The production is adapted from How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss.
This is the 14th time CTC has produced this show, which they originally commissioned and premiered in 1994. It also marks the ninth time CTC Core Company member Reed Sigmund will portray The Grinch.
“It is an absolute pleasure to, once again, spend the holidays in Who-ville,” said director Dean Holt. “My goal always is to create a room of joy, curiosity, and wonder that extends into the audience as well. This show belongs to all of us, young and old; it represents our collective heart that grows three sizes each holiday season as we gather in the glow of family, friends, and loved ones. I am honored to share this tradition, this tender story, and the unmatched experience of live theatre with all of you.”
CTC’s beloved holiday tradition Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! returns after last year’s sold-out run. In this hit musical spectacular, the grumpy green Grinch hatches a plan to steal Christmas from the cheerful Whos of Who-ville—snatching trees, swiping stockings, and sneaking away with every last present. But when one small voice and a spark of holiday spirit shine through, The Grinch begins to discover the true meaning of Christmas. Filled with music, mischief, and Seussian charm, this joyful production sparkles with laughs, warmth, and a little holiday magic your family will love.
“This will be my 9th time slithering and slinking through Whoville, and I’m still excited as I was the first time I donned the grumpy green carpet,” said Reed Sigmund. “This character and story are permanently timeless, and I can’t wait to climb into my lonely cave atop Mt. Crumpit once again.”
CTC’s production of Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a favorite across generations and celebrates the end of the calendar year. During this festive season, CTC is proud to spotlight the charitable year-end support that makes this work possible.
As a nonprofit organization, CTC relies on the generosity of our community to create extraordinary theatre experiences. Nearly half of CTC’s annual budget comes from philanthropic contributions of all sizes.
When individuals, corporations, and philanthropic organizations donate to CTC, every dollar is poured directly back into the work on and off stage–funding productions, creating scholarships, supporting staff and artists, and sharing transformative theatre onstage, in classrooms, and throughout the community. This contributed financial support ensures there are no barriers to participation, and allows CTC to continue to educate, challenge, and inspire young people and their communities.
