Take the Kids: Children's Theater

The John W. Engeman Theater offers families the chance to experience live theater, right here in Northport.

This holiday season offers two choices.

A Christmas Story – The Musical, through Jan. 4, 2015. By Jean Shepherd. Tickets from $69.

According to the Engeman Theater:

America’s #1 Christmas movie comes to life on stage as a hilarious holiday musical. Based on the writings of radio humorist Jean Shepherd, A Christmas Story, The Musical! chronicles young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker as he schemes his way towards the holiday gift of his dreams — a Red Ryder Action Air Rifle BB Gun. (You’ll shoot your eye out kid!”) A kooky leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a double-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between young Ralphie and his Christmas wish.

Frosty, through Jan. 4, 2015. Tickets from $15.

According to the Engeman Theater:

Join Jenny and Frosty on their chilly adventures as they try to save the town of Chillsville from the mean old Ethel Pierpot and her evil machine that will melt all the snow. Jenny calls on her Mom, the mayor, and all of you to help her save her home, get Frosty to the North Pole, and make this holiday season a Winter Wonderland for one and all!
