Celebrating 20 Years of Children's Theatre in Huntington

In 1990, Huntington's first children's theatre was formed. It went by the name MAG-CT (for Musical Arts Guild - Children's Theatre, since the group was created as an offshoot of the adult organization).

The first show that group presented was You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Ten years later, the children's theatre became an independent organization (with the blessing of MAG) and took a new name - First Stage Theatre Company.

To celebrate 10 years of children's theatre, the group presented "Charlie Brown" again in 2000. Here we are, 10 years later, and once again First Stage is presenting that Peanuts classic, along with its sequel, Snoopy!!! The Musical.

Next weekend (Thursday through Sunday) are your last chances to catch those shows (they alternate days, with "Snoopy" on Thursday and Saturday, and "Charlie Brown" on Friday and Sunday).

To celebrate its 20th Anniversary, First Stage is inviting any and all alumni to Friday's performance of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. That includes all the young people who took part in a First Stage or MAG-CT performance over the past 20 years! Wear a "show shirt" from any of those shows and your ticket is only $10. During Intermission the alumni will be recognized, and the winner of the Leslie McElroy Memorial Scholarship will be presented.

You'll also get to see a great show, and you'll see that the future is bright for theatre in Huntington!
