Theatre is not just for adults, as Derby Dinner's childrens theatre has proved every year since 1986. Derby Dinner's 2012-2013 theatre season and its five shows is no different.
During the 2012-2013 children's theatre season, Derby Dinner will present Rapunzel (June), Captain Louie (Oct.-Nov.), A Fairy Tale Christmas (Nov.-Dec.), A Year With Frog and Toad (Feb.-Mar. 2013), and Awesome Allie: First Kid Astronaut (May-June 2013). All public performances are to happen at Derby Dinner Playhouse, located at 525 Marriott Drive [4] in Clarksville, IN.
Tickets for each show depend on the performance. All 2012 lunch and breakfast shows are $21 and $16 respectively. All 2013 lunch and breakfast shows will be $20 and $15, respectively. Tickets can be purchased at the Derby Dinner website, at the box office, or by calling the box office at 812-288-8281.

Currently letting down her hair is Rapunzel, which runs until June 30. The musical fairy tale centers on a girl with really long hair who has been locked away for most of her childhood. More information on the show can be found in this article [6].
Coming next is Captain Louie, a Stephen Schwartz-created musical about one kid's imagination and the journey he takes on a Halloween night. The production will run from Oct. 13-Nov. 17.
Next, A Fairy Tale Christmas will prepare for its Crystal Christmas Ball in the middle of the land of Happily Ever After. The magical musical will run from Nov. 24-Dec. 22.
Starting the New Year will be A Year With Frog and Toad. The Tony Award-nominated musical, based on Arnold Lobel's work, finds two friends hopping along throughout the year. The production hops along Feb. 23-March 30.
Last, but certainly not least, Derby Dinner goes to outer space with Awesome Allie: First Kid Astronaut. Join Allie as she transforms from normal girl to astronaut on a mission across the universe. The production will blast off from May 25-June 29.
