A Charlie Brown Christmas at the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati Plus More Holiday Shows

The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati is at it again, y’all. This Christmas a fan favorite is back!!  A Charlie Brown Christmas returns to the Taft Theatre December 7-16, 2019! We are so excited to see this one. I mean, is it even December if you don’t watch this show on TV?  Now you can see it live too!  And as a huge BONUS….. this production features Local 12’s own Bob Herzog as Man’s Best Friend, Snoopy!  Every show that Bob Hezog is in skyrockets to be one of my favorites. He is so stinking funny. But, Snoopy doesn’t talk…hmmm….so it will be interesting to see how Bob adds his humor to Snoopy’s character. I can’t wait!

Back by popular demand, bring your family and celebrate the season with our live rendition of your favorite holiday TV special! Don’t let the hustle and bustle of the holidays get you down. Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang are here to remind us about what’s most important during the Yuletide season. 2019 marks the 54^th anniversary of the animated TV special, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Produced by Lee Mendelson and directed by Bill Melendez, the CBS program debuted on December 9, 1965.”

Just like the television special everyone knows and loves, A Charlie Brown Christmas will warm your heart this December, no matter how cold it gets outside! Don’t miss it!

The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati Presents two holiday treats on their Showtime Stage on Redbank Road.  We love attending shows at this stage. It’s small and intimate. You feel right up close with the performers. It’s a whole different feeling from the main stage. Now is the perfect chance to check it out.

MRS. CLAUS SAVES THE DAY.

When the holiday is threatened by a severe outbreak of the North Pole Pox two days before Christmas, and Santa himself is quarantined, it’s Mrs. Claus to the rescue! With traditional carols and a world-premiere script (commissioned by The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati), this holiday musical is about leadership, goodwill and teamwork.

This show is most enjoyed by those in grades K-5.  Visit here for details.
