Children’s Theatre Company announces Forts! Build Your Own Adventure An Interactive Experience, Feb 13-April 5

Coming to Children’s Theatre Company (CTC), 2400 3rd Avenue S, February 13-April 5 - Forts! Build Your Own Adventure, an interactive experience!

Pull back the curtains and there you are - surrounded by old sofas, crazy lampshades, piles of blankets, and towering towers of cardboard boxes! It’s like the coolest attic you’ve ever seen, where everything’s up for grabs. Use whatever you want to build…whatever you want - the tallest fort, the longest fort, tons of cozy little forts… Quick, someone hands you a flashlight - what will you do? In Forts! you make it all happen. This experience is best enjoyed by all ages. 

 

Per Rick Dildine, CTC Artistic Director, “Forts! celebrates the power of imagination in its purest and most exhilarating form. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported into a world of boundless possibility - playful, inventive, and alive with creativity. We’re thrilled to invite families into an experience where play leads the way, creativity is limitless, and every child becomes the architect of their own adventure.”

Forts! creator Julie Ritchey adds, “Twenty years ago, as a student at Northwestern University, I did a research presentation about Children's Theatre Company. The thought that Forts!, a piece I am so proud of, will be presented at CTC, a company I have so long admired, is a true full-circle moment. I am overjoyed and honored to bring Forts! to Minneapolis, and I can't wait to see what the imaginations of the incredible CTC audiences build!”
