Friday Funday at
The Des Moines Community Playhouse

Edgar Allan Crow and the Adventure Clubhouse at The Playhouse are back for the 2023-24 Season!

Friday Funday is a creative, participatory story theatre program where children 4-6 years old and their adults join Edgar Allan Crow at the Adventure Clubhouse at The Playhouse. Here, actors dramatize a favorite story using their imaginations and the costume pieces and props they find in their Magic Trunk. Audience members learn the secret handshake and Magic Storybook spell, and listen for the word of the day.

Performances are at the Playhouse at 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM. Shows are approximately 45 minutes in length.

The Little Red Hen

Who will help me bake the bread?

The Little Red Hen must do all the work while the other animals are sleeping and no one will help her bake the bread. What will she do when it’s time to eat the bread?

The Gingerbread Child

Run, run, run! I’m free and wild! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Child!

This cutout cookie leaps out of the oven and into a grand adventure. Will they be able to outwit the sly, hungry fox? Will the sly, hungry fox be able to resist such a tasty morsel?

The Mitten

I don’t want red mittens, I want white ones!

In this Adventure Clubhouse favorite, a young child drops his mitten in the snow and does not realize it is missing.  As woodland creatures seek warmth inside the mitten, it magically grows and grows!

I’m so hungry. Who will share their food with me?

Once upon a time there were three brothers. Only the youngest one was kind and unselfish enough to share his food with a poor, hungry old man. His gift was a beautiful golden goose with especially sticky feathers. Will it be enough to make a gloomy princess giggle?
