Morningside College presents the children’s musical “Hansel and Gretel” at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. on August 5 and 10 a.m. on August 6 in the Buhler Outdoor Performance Center, 3625 Garretson Avenue, on the college’s campus.
The free performances are part of Morningside’s Betty Ling Tsang Summer Fine Arts Series. Based on the classic Grimm Brothers tale about the children of a poor woodsman and their encounter with a witch, “Hansel and Gretel” includes chase scenes, crazy characters, songs and music for audience members of all ages.
Randy Peters, artistic director for the Betty Ling Tsang Summer Fine Arts Series, said, “Experiencing theater is a wonderful learning tool for children. One of the goals of the Betty Ling Tsang Summer Fine Arts Series is to start children on a lifelong love of the arts.”
The fine arts series is designed to bring free, quality music and theatre performances to Sioux City area residents of all ages.
In the event of rain, the performance will move to Klinger-Neal Theatre, 3700 Peters Avenue, on the Morningside campus.
The final performance for the 2011 Betty Ling Tsang Summer Fine Arts Series is Quartus, a rock/jam band, on August 20.
