Join us for a PNB premiere featuring Harold and his trusty crayon!
This hour-long, narrated production features performances by PNB School students and is the perfect introduction to ballet for any young patron. Bring the whole family and watch as Harold draws, and dances through, a landscape full of wonder and excitement.
One evening, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight. So begins Harold and the Purple Crayon, the first of seven delightful picture books by Crockett Johnson, following the zany adventures of an inventive young boy. As it turned out, there wasn’t any moon that night nor was there a path to walk on, so Harold simply drew them. And thus his journey began. Resourceful and brave, Harold creates the world he wants to explore, using nothing more than a big purple crayon and his sky’s-the-limit imagination. The Harold books have captivated families for more than sixty years, celebrating the imagination of children and the unique way they see the world.
Approximate Running Time: 49 minutes with no intermission.
