UC Clermont Calico Children’s Theatre announces 2024 season

Calico Children’s Theatre at the University of Cincinnati Clermont College has announced its slate of performances for the 2024 season.

On Friday, Nov. 1 at 6:30 p.m., the college will feature “Freddy Fossil’s Dino Show,” recommended for viewers in kindergarten through 5th grade. With incredibly lifelike dinosaur puppets and plenty of comical audience participation, Freddy Fossil helps kids and parents discover why “it stinks to be extinct.”

Then on Dec. 13 at 6:30 p.m., UC Clermont will host “The Nutcracker,” performed by Madcap Puppets. The show is recommended for children in kindergarten through 5th grade. In this classic story, main character Clara needs a little help from the Nutcracker to keep the Sugarplum Fairy from spoiling their holiday festival. Madcap twists this well-known tale into a fantastically funny take, filled with giant puppets, comical characters and audience participation.

All performances are approximately one hour long and held on the on the UC Clermont campus in Krueger Auditorium, Snyder Building, 4200 Clermont College Drive, Batavia, Ohio 45103.
