One of my favorite memories as a child, was getting dressed up and heading into the city to go see a show. Hearing the quiet chatter as people gathered to their seats, waiting for the curtain to rise as the lights went dim was so thrilling I almost couldn’t stand the excitement.
Now every chance possible my husband and I try to create that thrill for our children. It’s a day filled with train, show and lots of goodies here, there and in between. However, we all know that the cost of a show and making a day of it is not always so friendly on the wallet. Not to mention if you have little ones, the day is long and sometimes all the fun is hard for them to handle. That is why we were more than happy to have found the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport, CT. The Children’s company has great performances for kids and adults alike. A skip away, short shows, a personable feel is a half day filled of pure entertainment.
The preparation starts well in advance, from picking a show, getting the tickets and on the day of preparing the “Food” tote packed with lots of treats all to enjoy at our table while we watch the show. And the fun doesn't end there...after the show you can get autographs and pictures with the cast as they stand in the lobby.
To see my children’s faces shine when the stage lights up is truly amazing and a great memory for us to share. It really is fantastic!
