The Dallas Children’s Theater recently announced its schedule for the 2024-25 season.
To begin DCT’s 41st season, the theater has announced five separate productions. The productions and performance dates are as follows:
“Mercy for the President” – September 28 – October 20
“A Charlie Brown Christmas” – November 23 to December 22
“Pete the Cat” – January 25th – February 23rd.
“Dino-Light” — March 28-30.
“James and the Giant Peach” – April 19 – May 24.
“James and the Giant Peach” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” need no introduction. “Grace for President” is a timely production, just in time for an ongoing election season. Based on a book by Kelly DiPucchio, the play is about a third-grade girl who is frustrated by the lack of female U.S. presidents and decides to run for class president.
“At DCT, we believe in giving young people the opportunity to explore experiences outside of their own in an environment that fosters kindness and understanding,” said Samantha Turner, executive director at DCT, in a press release. “A show like Grace for President invites young people into the electoral process in a friendly, competitive and exciting way. We also know that many of our families span multiple generations. Some grandparents and parents saw James and the Giant Peach on our stage as a child and now get to relive it with new eyes by bringing their own children and grandchildren.”
