**GIVEAWAY ALERT** One of my favorite things to do with my kiddos is back and I am so excited!!  Chicago Children’s Theater has a brand new show geared towards kids of all ages.  Chicago Children’s Theatre hosts the return of internationally acclaimed Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia to the Windy City, with Mermaid’s all-new production of

Featuring evocative music, stunning visual effects and innovative puppetry, Mermaid Theatre’s all-new triple‐bill brings to life three Eric Carle all-time family favorites – Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me and The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

I have always loved how CCT exposes kids to high quality theater by presenting well-loved and endearing stories that appeal both to kids and their parents.  I have never been bored or annoyed even for a second at any of the shows we’ve been lucky to see there.  They are all very well-done, well-performed and staged, and entertaining for both me and my kiddos.  I know this new show about books that I have read to my boys literally hundreds of times will not disappoint.  Check out a glimpse:

Performances are May 2-27, 2012 on the Victory Gardens Biograph Theater mainstage, 2433 N. Lincoln Avenue, Chicago.  Performances are Tuesday through Thursday at 10:15 am; Friday at 10 am and Noon; Saturday at 10 am, Noon and 3 pm; and Sunday at 1 pm and 3 pm.   Tickets, $15 – $41, are on sale now.  For tickets and information, go to chicagochildrenstheatre.org or call the Victory Gardens box office, 773.871.3000.  For discounted rates for pre-schools, schools, day care facilities and play groups of eight or more, contact GroupTix at 773.327.3778 or visit GroupTix.net.
