Chicago Children's Theatre's Harold & the Purple Crayon
North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie, 9501 Skokie Blvd, Skokie, IL | Get Directions »
$16.50
Harold and the Purple Crayon teaches young audiences that
anything is possible with a crayon and a big imagination. Meet Harold, a
curious four year old boy who, armed with his trusty purple crayon, has the
power to create a world of his own simply by drawing it. This imaginative
musical uses breathtaking animation, inventive puppetry, and original music to
bring Harold’s purple-hued world to life; it is perfect for introducing young
children to theatre while simultaneously captivating their older companions.
Harold and the Purple Crayon will be helmed by CCT Artistic Associate Sean Graney, who directed the company’s productions of The Hundred Dresses, Honus and Me, and Hana’s Suitcase. Graney, Founding Artistic Director of The Hypocrites, is the recipient of a Career Development for Directors Program award from the National Endowment for the Arts and Theatre Communications Group, the winner of two non-Equity Joseph Jefferson Awards, and was named Chicago’s Best Avant-Garde Director by Chicago Magazine and 2004’s Chicagoan of the Year: Theater by the Chicago Tribune.
