Minnesota has seen its first frost, Pumpkin Spice Lattes have given way to Ho Ho Mochas, and now it's time for the #TCTheater holiday season to begin* (even if it is 60 degrees outside). First up is what has become
Children's Theatre Company's annual production of Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas! I missed it last year, so I was happy to return to Whoville and experience the festive joy and celebration of the true meaning of any holiday - kindness, generosity, and being together with friends and family. The shine has not dulled on this CTC original gem; there are always new cast members and surprise moments to keep things interesting. And this year, a nice pairing with this big, bright, and colorful show is the sweet and lovely two-person musical
Twelve Kinds of Ice, playing downstairs from the Grinch through November 22. It's a beautiful celebration of winter and the nostalgia of childhood past, that kids are sure to enjoy, but I suspect is secretly for grownups. Get a double dose of winter at CTC this year, with
the Grinch continuing through early January.
