HG)--Gaslight Theatre celebrates 15 years of Children’s Theatre productions with the return of “Hansel and Gretel,” March 23-24. This year’s play, an original take on the Brothers Grimm classic, was written by Enid native Mary Aiaka Kent. Join Hansel and his sister, Gretel, as they wander through the magical woods, encountering fairies, trolls, and witches. But be assured these witches are funny and often sweet. There are laughs for the entire family. Children’s Theatre productions originally were added to Gaslight Theatre’s annual offering of plays as a way to introduce children to live theater in a family-friendly atmosphere for an affordable price. Performances are shorter to accommodate children’s attention spans, and performance times have been adjusted with nap times in mind.  Performances begin at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. The show is one hour long with an intermission and provided snacks. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased through the Gaslight website, www.gaslighttheatre.org, by calling (580) 234-2307, or in person at the Gaslight Theatre box office located at 221 N. Independence.
