There are lots of things to do in San Antonio this Christmas / Holiday season, but few are as much fun as the children friendly theater events that our great city has to offer. These fun and frothy venues help children to get out of the movie theater and transport them into the wonderful world of live theater, providing enjoyment and fun for kids of all ages. Here you will find a comprehensive listing of the best of the best children's theater productions that San Antonio has to offer!
1. The Nutcracker: A Holiday Comedy
This is a theater stage version of the classic holiday ballet and plays to sold out crowds at the Magick Children's Theatre. The players combine the wit and charm of classic comedians like the Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin, Lucille Ball, Abbot and Costello and many others, and act out the classic story in a hilarious way! Laughs abound during this holiday production, and children that have attended it in years past love seeing it over and over. This is a sure bet for a great time this season. Shows start in November and run through late December, but make sure you get your tickets to this one early!
2. Santa's Holiday Surprise
This is a fun and interactive children's play hosted at the Backyard Theatre For Kids. In this charming tale the children in the audience actively participate in returning a very stranded Santa Claus back to the North Pole before Christmas. This interactive experience helps to truly engage and enthrall children into the magical world of live theater, and is lots of fun! When the production is over, children are invited to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. Fun and magic to be had by all, and no long lines at the mall!
3. Bah Humbug
Set in the beautiful Areneson River Theater on the historic San Antonio Riverwalk, 'Bah Humbug' takes you and your child through a hilarious one-man show of the classic 'A Christmas Carol'. The Company Theater heads on the production as actor/director Damian Gillen moves flawlessly through all of the roles in the play, from the ghosts, to Scrooge and even the narrator in this hilarious adaptation. This is a must see for kids of all ages!
