Theater For Kids - This Weekend

Another hidden local treasure—it seems they're endless, if you're looking—is the Pumpkin Theater at St. Timothy's School in Stevenson, MD.

Ever since we had kids, I've been hearing about this great local children's theater that's been around for 43 years and puts on really wonderful, professional theater for kids. Their new show, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," opens this weekend, with shows at 1pm and 3pm both Saturday and Sunday, and the same schedule next weekend. We're finally going to give it a try. I hear the shows are good for all kids 2 and up, who are able to sit through an hour-long show. If you're interested, move quick. Tickets ($12 in advance, $14 at the door) for some shows are close to selling out...
