Children’s Theater in Downtown Durham

Starting Friday, August 22nd, through September 14th, Find the Light Community Theatre in Downtown Durham will present Marmalade Gumdrops by Carol Lauck for ages “5 to 15 and parents of all ages.”

Shows are Fridays at 6:30pm, Saturdays 2:30pm, and Sundays 2:30pm. Tickets are $7.

Location: 124 W. Parrish Street, around the corner from the Bull.

Marmalade Gumdrops is about an imaginative 10 year old boy in his room. Characters include the boy, his bed, a chair, a bookcase, and a “not too bright” floor lamp.

See the Marmalade Gumdrops flyer here.

The director is Gennaro D’Onofrio. Yes, you’ve heard that last name before if you’re a Law & Order fan. Yes, that’s his dad.

  3. Saw this today with our 5.5 and 7 year old boys, and we all rally enjoyed it. I did not have especially high expectations (it’s a community theater) but the young (”kid”) actors were great, and our kids LOVED it. (Well, we did too.)
