Kids’ theatre shows and concerts in 2024:

1. The Princess and the Pea

If you think you know The Princess and the Pea, think again. SRT The Little Company presents a fresh, ninja-filled twist on the classic Hans Christian Andersen tale. But instead of a damsel in distress, this princess spends her night defeating dragons, battling baddies and, of course, rewriting fairytales! Get ready for a fun-filled musical adventure where the princess must defeat her toughest challenge yet—the PEA, a rogue computer convinced that princesses can’t be heroes and that fairytales can’t be retold.

Packed with catchy songs and an action-packed storyline, watch as how the princess, prince and queen team up to outwit the PEA and create their very own happy ending. This show teaches little ones about the power of friendship and teamwork, and how everyone has their unique strengths—because in this tale, everyone can be a superhero!
