Children's theatre in Davis & Surrounding Areas

Just like I love taking the kids to anything "nature-y", my husband loves taking Big Sis to children's theatre. It's not that he particularly enjoys children's theatre, he just loves watching her enjoy it and also spending that special time with her one-on-one. I find the shows, he takes her- what a convenient arrangement!
This post is about theatres they've been to, and theatres I'm planning for them to go to in the future. We're big fans of tickets under $10.

One Sunday, the happy couple headed over to City Theatre (Sacramento City College's on campus theatre) where they saw "Beauty and The Beast". This production had a twist on the original version, with the "Beast" being a man with a dog's head (and also behaving like a dog). Apparently it was cute - how can you go wrong for $5? The audience, however, may include some rowdy college kids.

The Aladdin production at Woodland Opera House was a favorite. "Jasmine is the most beautiful princess ever!" Big Sis said when I asked her about it. The kids were able to meet Jasmine after the show

Our biggest splurge was the "Disney on Ice" production at the Arco Arena. It was soon after we moved to Davis, and thought it might take Big Sis' mind off missing her friends. Of course she loved it. What can I say, it's Disney - they know how to entertain little girls.

There are plenty more productions coming up and I have them written in our calendar. I will post as we see them. For now, I've included the information below for some of the theatres that do children's productions.
