Synopsis
In this homage to his Midwestern childhood, Bradbury brings to life one unforgettable summer full of skinned knees, the smell of freshly cut grass, squishy new sneakers, time machines and a fortune telling Tarot witch. Bradbury’s magical story is a sensory explosion that reminds us to cherish the simple pleasures of youth. Founded in 2005 with its Inaugural Production, A Year With Frog and Toad, Chicago Children’s Theatre strives to provide affordable and accessible theater for families and area school children. The company focuses on the production of first-rate family theater in Chicago, with top writing, performing and directorial talent as well as high-quality design and production expertise.
