By Wendy, Columbus Mom and Publisher of NE Columbus Macaroni Kid December 5, 2016
The beloved holiday tale is being retold on stage this season by CATCO is Kids' in A Seussified Christmas Carol. This show is a whimsical reinvention of Dickens' most beloved Christmas story in wacky rhymed couplets. With zoot-fruited juices and binka bird geese, from Bed-Headed Fred to Timmy Loo Hoo, this tale of glorious holiday cheer is similar to something Dr. Seuss might have come up with–if he ever had his way with the story. With 10 performances running weekends from Friday, December 2nd through Sunday, December 11th, this is a perfect family date for the holidays!

To help introduce the story to children, CATCO has compiled background information and activities for parents to do with their children before and after the show in A Seussified Christmas Carol playguide. Many of the activities are designed to help students meet the curriculum standards, and are identified with a “curriculum connection” icon. Download the A Seussified Christmas Carol playguide now.

Bring a new and unwrapped donation of socks, books, Crayons/washable markers, or puzzles to any performance of A Seussified Christmas Carol and receive a $10 ticket voucher for CATCO is Kids’ upcoming productions. These items will go to our Grow Up Great reading initiative school, Hilltop Preschool, helping students between the ages of 3-5 years old. Thanks for giving back this holiday season with CATCO is Kids!

My family loves seeing these shows. They are engaging and hold their attention the entire time. These are my favorite family date experiences, and ones that I have found my children remember.
