Saturday morning family series returns

The CENTER for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck has announced the return of its Saturday morning family series, a beloved tradition offering live, family-friendly entertainment every Saturday at 11 a.m. Designed for young audiences, these interactive shows provide the perfect introduction to theater in a fun, relaxed environment.

Originally created by the late education director William Fiscaletti, the series has been a cherished part of the community for over 25 years. Current director of education Victoria Howland said,“We are looking forward to getting through winter and to the spring with our community on some fun Saturday mornings.”

This season’s lineup, running from Feb. 22 through April 5, features a mix of classic fairy tales, interactive storytelling, live science experiments, and cultural performances. Highlights include an immersive Wizard of Oz adventure, Kit’s Interactive Theatre’s Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother, the high-energy Celtic Heels Irish Dance, and a live falconry demonstration with birds of prey.

Tickets are just $10, making this an accessible way for families to experience the magic of live theater.
