Alice in Wonderland: Whimsy on top of whimsy

By Ed Huyck | Wed, May 15, 2013

You usually know what you're going to get with a production of Alice in Wonderland: a young girl, a late rabbit, and lots of imagery that would fit in well on a Syd-Barrett-era Pink Floyd album.The Ch... More »
Jackie and Me: Too much in play

By Ed Huyck | Tue, March 19, 2013

Joey Stoshack gets to do what so many of us dream about: travel back in time and meet his heroes. For the baseball-obsessed youth who can make his journeys by touching the trading cards of his favorit... More »
Pinocchio: Becoming a boy

By Ed Huyck | Tue, January 22, 2013

With a story as familiar as Pinocchio, how do you make it fresh? In the case of director Greg Banks and the Children's Theatre Company, all it takes is some painting equipment, a few improvised props,... More »

'Cat in the Hat' is all about delight

By Ed Huyck | Tue, October 02, 2012

We probably all remember the dreary, rainy days of childhood, when our parents wouldn't let us out and none of the distractions inside seemed to hold any interest. Dr. Seuss took that innocent boredom... More »

2013 | Best Designer

While Joel Sass is highly regarded -- rightfully so -- as a director, his design work is just as accomplished. In show after show, when he is either at the helm or is brought in, the set design work is impeccable, clever in its own right, and absolutely appropriate for the production. For Noises Off! last year at the Jungle Theater, Sass made sure the set looked good (the Jungle stage crew has its reputation, after all) but not too good, as this wasn't supposed to be a high-end...

2010 | BEST LARGE THEATER

CTC may aim its work at the younger set, but the theater has never been childish. At it's best, though, it's childlike--full of enthusiasm for the new, willing to take chances because that's what life is for, not afraid to fail because it doesn't know how. The theater had a particularly strong year in 2009, led by a terrific promenade version of Romeo and Juliet. With the audience filtering in at Genoa's street level, the youthful passion and eventual tragedy were that much more... More »
2007 | BEST THEATER FOR DRAMA

You'd be forgiven for not keeping up with every show CTC opened last year. Between the main stage and the Cargill stage for teen shows, the production list numbered nearly a dozen. What's startling is how many of these shows were developed for CTC: Greg Banks's high-wire adaptation of Antigone, Whit McLaughlin's Prom, Naomi Iizuka's Anon, Lisa D'Amour's Tales of a West Texas Marsupial Girl. And while we admire the energy of any theater that opts to stage this much work, a solid... More »
2004 | BEST STAGE PRODUCTION

There's one almost reasonable reason not to give honors here for this second offering from Children's Theatre Company's teen program. Namely, the director (Whit MacLaughlin), several folks on the creative team, and one cast member are from Philadelphia's New Paradise Theatre Company. And this item is not running in Philadelphia's City Pages. But that argument doesn't really hold water. All sorts of local productions are collaborations between townies and carpetbaggers. Besides, this funny,... More »

Loved Harold and the Purple Crayon last spring, and the Cat and the Hat delivers as well. As a Mom to two toddlers, I love the performances that keep them intrigued. The Cat and the Hat had a delightful story line that stayed true to the story. We loved this performance ~
