Join in and take the trip with Hansel and Gretel on their Halloween Adventure at the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre, Oct. 1 through Nov. 1.
Could there be anything more appropriate than a performance of Hansel and Gretel just in time for Halloween?
City Parks Foundation brings back “Hansel and Gretel’s Halloween Adventure” at the perfect time of year. Recommended for children ages 3–9, the show picks up where the original Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre production leaves off; with the children’s pet swan Samantha flying them back home, just as they begin having wild dreams of Central Park blossoming into an action-packed Halloween night, complete with mermaids, monsters, pirates, vampires and, of course, a witch!
Performances run from Oct. 1 through Nov. 1, Tuesdays through Fridays at 10:30 am and noon, with an additional show on Wednesdays at 2:30 pm; Saturday and Sunday at 1 pm. On Friday, Oct. 31 — Halloween! — there will be two additional shows at 2:30 pm and 4 pm. Tickets are $7 for children under 12, $10 for all others.
