For almost three decades, Derby Dinner has presented a great variety of shows designed to entertain and educate children in Louisville and Southern Indiana. That tradition continues with the 2015-16 children’s theater season.
During its children’s season, Derby Dinner Playhouse will present four shows: “Junie B. Jones,” “Jack Frost Saves Christmas,” “Charlotte’s Web” and “Pinkalicious: The Musical.” All performances are to go on at Derby Dinner Playhouse, located at 525 Marriott Drive [4] in Clarksville, IN.
Season tickets are available for purchase. Lunch show season tickets are $76 per adult and $38 per child. Breakfast show season tickets, meanwhile, are $56 per adult and $28 per child. More season ticket information can be found at the Derby Dinner Playhouse website [5] or by calling the box office at 812-288-8281.
The children’s theater opens with “Junie B. Jones,” a sassy diva that takes audiences through her adventures in first grade. The musical comedy is based on Barbara Park’s books and will run Oct. 3-Nov. 7.
When the holiday season rolls around, Derby Dinner will help save it with “Jack Frost Saves Christmas.” With his newly-discovered icy magic, Jack will set out on an adventure to save Christmas. Jack Frost will save Christmas Nov. 14-Dec. 21. (By the way, Santa will be at all performances.)
“Charlotte’s Web” will open the second half of the children’s theater season, featuring a beloved pig named Wilbur and his best friend, a spider named Charlotte that weaves messages in her spider web. Those messages make Wilbur a sensation. “Charlotte’s Web” will be weaved Feb. 27-April 2.
Finishing up the year is “Pinkalicious: The Musical,” where a little girl and her brother deal with the girl turning pink after eating way too many cupcakes. The musical comedy, based on a New York Times bestseller, will go on May 21-June 25.
