Rehoboth Summer Children’s Theatre returns with live shows starting July 26
The Rehoboth Summer Children’s Theatre is thrilled to announce a return to live, in-person performances for 2021. “Hansel and Gretel” will travel to locations throughout Sussex and Kent counties from Monday, July 26 through Friday, Aug. 13. The play is the newest two-actor show created by company co-founder Steve Seyfried.
The RSCT production of the Brothers Grimm classic features the familiar elements: lost children, a hungry witch and a magic gingerbread cottage. However, as audiences have come to expect, the story takes a surprising twist that is sure to delight children and adults alike. Jared Calhoun and Leah Senseney are the multi-talented actors who bring all the characters to life in this sparking, 45-minute production.
The Cape Region schedule of free public performances includes: 10:30 a.m., Thursday, July 29, Lewes Public Library; 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 5, Lewes Canalfront Park; 11 a.m., Thursday, Aug. 12, Millsboro Public Library; and 3 p.m., Aug. 12, Georgetown Public Library. Other performance venues include libraries in Delmar, Dover, Seaford, Frankford, Bridgeville, Selbyville, and Odessa, along with Brecknock Park in Kent County and Freeman Arts Pavilion in Selbyville.
All performances of “Hansel and Gretel” will take place outdoors, conforming with current COVID-19 protocols. Some libraries require preregistration for attendance, so it is advisable to check ahead.
