(GALLOWAY, NJ) -- Prepare to follow a rabbit down his hole, lose a glass slipper and battle against a giant in the sky at Stockton University’s Performing Arts Center this July and August.

The Children’s Summer Playhouse is back by popular demand and promises to be a treat for kids and families alike. All performances will begin at 11:00am, and a show-themed craft activity will be available in the lobby starting at 10:00am. 

“Alice in Wonderland” – Wednesday, July 10 - Alice decides to follow a white rabbit down a rabbit hole and soon encounters whimsical characters in Wonderland. During her adventure, she joins a tea party, comes face to face with the Queen of Hearts and has to fight the queen’s army of playing cards.

“Cinderella” – Wednesday, July 24 - After a life spent inside full of chores and with only birds and rats for companionship, Cinderella is soon whisked away to an unforgettable night with Prince Charming. She loses her glass slipper as she runs away from the ball, but the prince is determined to find her — one foot at a time.

“Jack and the Beanstalk” – Wednesday, August 7 An irresponsible boy named Jack trades his cow for magic beans instead of food, earning the ire of his mother in the process. Soon, however, the beans turn out to be magic after all. Join Jack as he ventures up the beanstalk, where he finds golden eggs and a burly giant that doesn’t take kindly to thieves.
