“How the Grinch Stole Christmas” opens this week at Children’s Theatre Company

Get ready to have your holiday spirits lifted! The classic story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, is back by popular demand and returning for its 13th season at the Children’s Theatre Company. This family favorite, all-ages show opens on Friday and will run through January 4.

In this beloved holiday favorite, filled with music and Seussian rhymes, a miserable, cantankerous Grinch plots the greatest heist imaginable—stealing the very thing the joyful Whos love the most. Until, that is, the smallest of the Whos, tiny Cindy-Lou, extends a hand.
