With this next week being a week off from school for most area schools the Rochester Children’s Theatre is offering a FREE performance of Sweet House: Hansel and Gretel.  The performance is on Tuesday, February 21 at 11am at East High School, 1801 E Main St, Rochester.

I went to see this play last year with my girls as a field trip and I have to admit it was a little weird because they were trying to make the story of Hansel and Gretel healthy!  It’s been sponsored by 321 Healthy Hero.  But my girls enjoyed it and it wasn’t bad.  So for the great price of free, it’s totally worth a go see.
Here’s the official write up on the play:

Sweet House uses the language of today’s youth combined with energizing music and dance to get across its healthy point. A music video of Sweet House’s “Let’s Move!” song features 37 local children as well as the five-member cast of Sweet House, and will be used during performances as well as to promote the show’s message on YouTube, etc.
