December 19 – December 31, 2025
This holiday season, Curio Theatre Company invites families to step into the story with HANSEL & GRETEL, a brand new Make & Partake Theatre Experience written by Paul Kuhn and directed by Mya Flood. Following the success of Jack and the Beanstalk and The Three Little Pigs, Curio continues its joyful, hands-on approach to storytelling that lets young audiences help create the magic live on stage.
In HANSEL & GRETEL, children don’t just watch the fairy tale unfold – they help make it happen. Before the performance begins, kids enter Curio’s imaginative “laboratory,” where they record sound effects, build props and costume pieces, create shadow puppets, and draw animated sand art that becomes part of the show itself.
Once inside the theatre, their creations come to life:
• The recorded sounds are triggered live at key moments in the story! For example, children get to press the big “howl” button when cued by actors with the line “and then the wolf howled!”
• The sand table transforms into a magical projection screen, with children changing the scenery in real time.
• Participants can even control the weather, pulling ropes to raise the sun or moon, sprinkling snow, splashing rain, and blowing bubbles on cue.
• They can join in on live music-making with the performers.
This experience is a one-of-a-kind, joyfully chaotic, deeply collaborative experience that blurs the line between audience and artist.
