Children’s Activities – Contra Costa

Poison Apple Productions

Growing up doing theater doesn’t necessarily mean that your child will become the next Oscar-winning performer, but it does mean they get to earn some valuable life experience with creative play. “Theater is an incredible vehicle to teach and encourage literacy, self-confidence, appreciation, empathy, public speaking, teamwork, and love of storytelling—and Poison Apple fosters all of that and more,” said Noelle Arms, Poison Apple’s Artistic Director/Educational Director. “We love offering these opportunities to Contra Costa, and we’re honored to be chosen as our community’s favorite children’s activity for the third time!” In addition to programming for children, there are also about two to three occasions per year when adult performers can place themselves in the spotlight. In February, the group’s teen performers will be traveling to the Junior Theater Festival in Sacramento to be adjudicated by theatrical professionals for their interpretation of Frozen JR and Godspell JR. Poison Apple’s next big production will be The Diary of Anne Frank, playing at the Poison Apple Playhouse in Martinez. Willy Wonka KIDS and summer camp productions of Moana JR and The Little Mermaid JR follow that. Find them on Facebook, or just attend one of their shows! It’s always a fine night for the theater.
