Families First At Willow Theatre Series

One of the Willow Theatre's most popular programs returned this summer, with early reaction showing why its held in such high regard.

The 2025 edition of the Summer Family Theatre Series debuted on June 14 with The Little Mermaid's Adventure. Both shows sold out.

“We're here every summer,” said Dianna Winkler while seated next to her son, Luke. “We've seen the performers a handful of times and we've been enjoying it, so we keep coming.”

The Summer Family Theatre Series provides family friendly entertainment geared toward households with younger children.

The next production in the series, The Three Little Circus Pigs, is scheduled for Saturday, July 12, with shows at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The interactive adaption of the Three Little Pigs is recommended for children aged 3-11.

The final Summer production, The MIS-Adventures of Pinocchio, will be on Saturday, August 2, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. It is recommended for children in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade.

A craft activity loosely based on each show is offered following each show.

“I think it's a great opportunity for us and the kids to have some culture during the summer,” said Liron Shalev, while enjoying ice cream with daughter Yahel at the post show patio party.

Tickets for each show are $9 for adults, $7 for children 12-under. They can be purchased at the Willow Theatre's website or by calling the box office at 561-347-3948.

The Willow Theatre is located inside the community center at Sugar Sand Park.
