Fairytale Concert

The Popular “Fairytale Concert” returns for the third year to transport all guests on a “MAGICAL QUEST” to travel into a land of possibilities and what true magic is all about. Musical moments, classic and new will reveal the enchanting secrets. Be ready to hold onto your shoes, for they will charm them off of you! Guests will have the golden opportunity to meet all the characters after the concert.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 24TH – 6:30        

SATURDAY, AUGUST 26TH – 2:00 & 4:30

We invite you to come and join the magic. As one father at the Ever After Ball one year shared with us, “I would travel a thousand miles to see the look I saw on my little girl’s face tonight!

That is the strength of fairytales. They are filled with promise. The weak can be strong; evil can be turned to good; the ugly can become beautiful; Cinderella can become a princess, the frog a prince. Every human being can rise to his true stature. Even the smallest child can realize this and rejoice at future victories.

Join us for the 7th Annual Fairytale Festival!

If you want your child to be intelligent, read them fairytales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairytales  –  Albert Einstein

This wise adage will come full circle at CenterPoint Theatre on September 13th and 14th for the 7th consecutive year as we celebrate all things fairytale wonder, bravery, wisdom, love, family and the lessons and adventures found in books!

Some of the highlights of the festival are: The popular “Daddy-Daughter Ball, Princess Tea Parties, Wizarding 101, performances from CPT actors in the Great Storytelling Tent, Neverland, craft booths, a balloon artist, food trucks, The Enchanted Storybook Train, face-painting, The Participlay, Hero’s Quest, and an array of delightful storybook characters and princesses to visit with.

This is a magical opportunity for CenterPoint to give back to the community that has so generously supported us as we head into our 10th season. It is also an opportunity for you to give well-loved and well-read books at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Books station. These books are given to a child in need of reading materials. We are also thrilled to host several “Make A Wish” children each year!

Registration for events begins August 1st. Join us for an enchanting time of magical moments and memories with your family!
