Seattle Times theater critic
Seattle Children's Theatre is opening its 2008-09 season with "Night of the Living Dead" (Friday-Nov. 1) and the return of "The Green Sheep," an interactive show for very young kids (ages 1-4, playing Wednesday-Nov. 1).
The season — which unfolds on two stages, the Charlotte Martin Theatre and Eve Alvord Theatre — continues with the following productions:
"Bluenose": Oct. 17-Dec. 14, ages 6 and up. A rollicking pirate drama about a trio of pirates and the blue-nosed girl they encounter.
"The Wizard of Oz": Nov. 21-Jan. 17, 2009, ages 6 and up. A stage musical based on the beloved movie version of L. Frank Baum's tale about an intrepid girl who ventures up the Yellow Brick Road.
"Tomás and the Library Lady": Jan. 9-March 1, ages 7 and up. José Cruz González's adaptation of a book by Pat Mora, about a Latino migrant boy struggling to learn how to read in a new language.
"Pharaoh Serket and the Lost Stone of Fire": Jan. 30-March 7, ages 8 and up. An adventure mystery by John Olive, set in ancient Egypt, about the search for a mystical gem.
"A Tale of Two Cities": March 20-April 12, ages 11 and up. Dwayne Hartford's dramatization of the searing Charles Dickens novel, which focuses on British characters who get caught up in the onslaught of the French Revolution.
"Goodnight Moon": April 10-June 14, ages 4 and up. An encore of Chad Henry's musical, inspired by the same-titled Margaret Wise Brown storybook so many cherish, about a little bunny's adventures on his way to falling asleep.
"I Was a Rat!": May 1-June 14, ages 6 and up. Based on a Philip Pullman story, this Barbara Field play concerns "a dreaded sewer monster" who finds a loving home with a cobbler and his wife.
