Ring Around the Rose - high quality entertainment for kids at bargain prices

I just got the new season info for Ring Around the Rose, which is a series of performances geared for little ones at the Rose Wagner Theatre Downtown (a short walk from the Gallivan Trax station). It's a great way to get your kids some culture without the worry of your child's behavior at adult programs. Kids at these performances are free to wiggle in their seats and don't have to be perfectly silent throughout the performance.

This year Ring Around the Rose will feature Brazilian Dance with Samba Gringa, Dance from Ballet West, Repertory Dance Theatre and Tanner Dance Theatre, a interactive performance with Utah Opera, a performance by actors involved with Youth Theatre at the U., a magic show, African Drumming and a performance by "Partch", which is described as "weird and wonderful muisc played on instruments he (Harry Partch) invented himself."

There are nine performances in all from September through May, and if you buy tickets to six or more of the shows as a season package, the tickets are only $4 a piece.
