Recommended for ages 5 and up
The haphazard detective work of Scooby Doo meets the
witty banter of Glee in this frighteningly fun musical
based on the beloved Goosebumps series. Brooke and
Zeke are starring in their school play …The Phantom.
(Yep—it’s a spoof of the Broadway musical!) When
strange things start to happen during rehearsals,
no one is sure if it’s a practical joke or if the school’s
theater is haunted. Wear your favorite costume and
bring the entire family to this silly, and only a little
spooky, adventure.
We’re fortunate that Christmastime means Charlie
Brown, Linus, Lucy, Snoopy, and friends are back at
DCT by popular demand! Rediscover the true reason
for the season while sharing laughs with the Peanuts
Gang along the way. As a live combo fills your heart
with music, merriment, and warmth, Charles Schulz’s
classic special makes you nostalgic for days gone by.
Button up your coat, and meet us on the ice!

Fact: More than 50% of teens admit that they are
addicted to their phones. They're plugged in and often
tuned out. In her new play, Linda Daugherty, DCT's
award-winning playwright-in-residence, explores
the blurry lines between real life and life online.
Cyber-bullying, explicit content and screen addiction
impact the lives of a group of teens, leading to tragic
consequences.
See Kipling’s original 1894 coming of age tale brought
to the stage, and join Mowgli in learning the moral
lessons of home, betrayal, life and death, and loyalty.
Mowgli lives in the jungle surrounded by panthers,
bears, wolves, snakes, and tigers. They are his
protectors, and he believes he is one of them. When
Mowgli comes face to face with a fearsome tiger, he
is forced to choose between his bond with the jungle
and the reality of his humanness. This classic story
of the struggle for survival and a place that feels like
home will have audiences on the edge of their seats.

YANA WANA’S LEGEND
OF THE BLUEBONNET
By Roxanne Schroeder-Arce and María F. Rocha
Music by Héctor Martinez Morales
March 23 – April 8, 2018
Recommended for ages 6 and up
Ten-year-old María is having trouble in school, so her mom
sends her to her grandmother’s (Abuela’s) house six hours
away in Laredo for discipline and perspective. When Abuela
begins helping María with a school assignment on the
history of bluebonnets, the young girl uncovers an amazing
truth about her Coahuiltecan heritage. Produced
in partnership with Cara Mía Theatre Co., this beautiful
tale illustrates the power of ancestry and the value of one’s
own story.
BLUE
By Annie Cusick Wood
April 21 – May 6, 2018
Recommended for squirmy toddlers and their families
SEASON SPECIAL
Dallas Children’s Theater is proud to be part of the
national effort to introduce more toddler-friendly
theater experiences. A growing body of research speaks
to the benefits of theater for the very young. BLUE is
returning as part of this initiative while additional new
works for these audiences continue to be developed.
Pale Blue and Inky Blue are very happy in their blueness.
When a red sock enters their kitchen, Pale and Inky
AND the audience are surprised by the way their world
is turned upside down. This play introduces the idea
of acceptance in an age-appropriate, soft-hearted
theatrical experience. It is filled with fun, humor, and
whimsy—and at the end of the show, you will be too!
