Arden Theatre Celebrates Children’s International Book Day

On Saturday, April 2 the Arden theatre was home for more than 200 kids and their families. We hosted a free fun family event celebrating International Children’s Book Day and Hans Christian Andersen’s Birthday. This day inspired a love for reading and drew attention to children’s literature by celebrating Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish author of iconic fairy tales including The Little Mermaid, the Ugly Duckling and The Emperor’s New Clothes, not to mention our upcoming new musical The Flea and the Professor. Families came out for storytelling, face painting, craft projects and even an ice cream social.
