Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts presents

The Adventures of Harold and the Purple Crayon

Based on the adored book series by Crockett Johnson, Enchantment Theatre Company presents an out-of-this-world imaginative experience. Captivating children and families for generations, this production is a favorite of those who love adventure and exploration. Harold and the Purple Crayon, the first of seven delightful picture books by Crockett Johnson, follows the zany adventures of an inventive young boy. Resourceful and brave, Harold creates the world he wants to explore, using nothing more than a big purple crayon. The whole family will enjoy life-size puppets, pantomime, dance, magic and original music.

Recommended for ages 4-10
